Users can configure the number of entries per page to be displayed; filter the blog entries by subject,
category, and post date; and control the display order of the blog entries.
Clicking a particular blog entry displays just that entry, along with the list of comments posted for
that entry and the files that have been attached to it, as shown in Figure 3-3.

Posting Blog Entries
Without the ability to post blog entries, there would be nothing to display. After logging in as a valid user,
you can post a new blog entry using the entry form shown in Figure 3-4, which you can access using the
New Blog Posting link on the home page.
When posting/editing a blog entry, you can enter the details, as well as select the category and
subcategory of the blog entry so visitors can easily filter out those blog entries that they don't want to
see. In addition, validation rules will be applied to the blog entry during posting.
Once you have created a blog entry, you can edit it by clicking the Edit link on the entry's detail page
(a blog entry can be edited only by the user who posted it). Behind the scenes, SpringBlog uses the same
HTML form both for creating and for editing a blog entry, but it uses different Spring Controller methods
to handle each action.
