Users cannot find how to post to their blog, because the "Control Panel" button is not showing up. How can I force this to show?

I have checked the SiteUrls.config, and the Control Panel button is referenced there.

<link name="controlpanel" resourceUrl="controlpanel" resourceName="controlpanel" roles="SystemAdministrator,BlogAdministrator,ForumsAdministrator,Moderator,GalleryAdministrator,FileAdministrator,ReaderAdministrator,MembershipAdministrator" />

Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Matt

Sorry, I keep answering my own questions today. I added "Registered Users" to the roles and it shows up now. I would think that would be an "out-of-the-box" feature if you were auto-creating blogs and galleries.

Yes, I would have though so too.  Luckily it is easy enough to implement ourselves.

I guess the CS dev's reckon the "My Blog Dashboard" page on the users blog hompage is enough.  I have aslo added "Registered Users" on xboxbloggers.net to do the same thing for logged on users.

Hi, I tried the siteURL change mentioned in the post.  The control panel did not show up for me.

<link name="controlpanel" resourceUrl="controlpanel" resourceName="controlpanel" roles="SystemAdministrator,BlogAdministrator,ForumsAdministrator,Moderator,GalleryAdministrator,FileAdministrator,ReaderAdministrator,MembershipAdministrator,RegisteredUsers" />

Did I do it correctly?

I found it..."Registered Users"  is the only one with a space...

Instead of opening up the Control Panel to all Registered Users, you may read CS2007: My Blogs.
