Publishing features for Blog Site?

i have an internet facing Publishing Portal which i would like to add a blog sub-site. When i navigate to Site Actions > Create Site i am only presented with the Publishing Template to create a 'Publishing Site with workflow'. I am not seeing the Collaboration Templates. Is it possible to create a sub-site within an Internet facing Publishing portal that is not based on the Publishing template?

I just created a new Blog site in Sharepoint 2007, and set permisions to the users and admins.
Now, I have a question on how to set the post life time. Is there any setting to contral how many days that the posts can last in the blog? We want the post include the comments kept in the site for one month.

Please help.

Thanks.

I have published a sharepoint website that I created but I now have the following problem:

• from the internal network, everything works fine..
• from the external network (via web):

1. the People Picker web part does not work (error in WebForm_DoCallBack)
2. The "assigned to" field is empty, but when I see the source code, the users are there. They are just not displayed.

  I think as usual, the new version of SharePoint 2010 has a lot of problems. the below messege appear in a publushing site (FBA) enabled and when I try to access the pages list or even approve a page of accessing the SiteCollectionImages list and ......... etc every link produce the below error. I'm very frustrated with 2010.  Server Error in '/' Application. <nativehr>0x8107058a</nativehr><nativestack></nativestack>Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object.

We have created a simple team site and a block subsite.  When trying to edit the site permissions we see the following error.  Any ideas? When opening a blog site and clicking Site Actions - site permissions we received a new page with the following error: Error File Not Found Troubleshoot issue with Microsoft Sharepoint Foundation Correlation ID: 51b54786-f344-4474-b88e-3080c363693 Date and Time: 3/24/2010 3:03:38 PM

A trick we used in MOSS 2007 doesn't seem to work in SharePoint 2010 although it seemed to work for someone who asked the same question in this forum.  We know publishing site do not have the "Save as site template" as an option in the site settings so we used <site>/_layouts/savetmpl.aspx to save the site template.  Unfortunately, new site created using the saved template is throwing a 404 error.  And the site was actually created (can see in View All Site Content).  We need to be able to easily create sub-sites with the same look and feel and set of document libraries/lists.  Any advice? 

Site settings -> Site Collection Administration -> Site collection features VS Site Settings -> Site Actions -> Mange site features I would like to understand what is the difference between these consoles at the site collection level. I found this link to an explaination but it didn't make it clearer.  http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepoint2010setup/thread/97e184dc-6f78-4ee5-a95c-2cc564134798 Why when I deploy a custom feature with the target site, level does it go to to the Site collection features console and not the Manage site features console

Hi all,   For now, results in Library (document set or not) are shown and the link is the binary file. This is ok. But for list, anonymous users can't view results. As logged in I see the items in the AllItems.aspx page. How could I allow this result to be viewed by anonymous users too?      Thank you,   Benoit Pironet

Hello, I am looking to make a publishing site the web site for the company. When I go to www.contoso.com it will take me to the normal Moss 07 portal and not the publishing site. Where is the setting for me to make the publishing site as the default web site? -IRXFIRE

Hello, Looking for help using a blog site I need to create sub-categories under Categories that are located  in the Quick Launch area and also be able to add to sub-categories when needed, plus click the sub-category and it will open the post under that sub-category. I hope that I am making sense.  Thank you so much, JAM

I have a request to remove the 'Home' tab from the top navigation for a publishing site.  I can see how to add new ones and remove them but there is no way to remove the root 'Home' tab from the site navigation settings page.Thanks...

Hi all, I have a Root Site collection, and it has various sub sites, I have a couple of lists and content types that are specific to some sub sites, and the client doesn't want these lists and content types viewable across the company so it makes sense that these are deployed to their respective sub sites only so that they are not available at the root level. I know if you go through the Site Settings for the sub sites, you can create content types and lists that are only available in that site, but I am battling to deploy these content type & lists to their specific sub-sites though Visual Studio 2010, does anyone know how to do this?
