I have my blog website set up using Foundry 3 and Alloy and it looks great.
Going forward as we add new blog entries, our admin person gets involved doing editing, etc from a remote location. So we need a separate site for testing until the blog entry is error free (spellings, facts, etc and up to her standards).
I tried to set up a test server but none of the original blogs came over. Alloy gave an error message and set up one sample blog entry.
How do I make sure that all of my previous blog entries come along as I work in a test environment for new or future blogs?
A draft is fine for me but our admin person in a different state needs to see the blog and check spelling and other details. She has the final say before I publish the blog. So she needs to see it.
Before the latest blog using F3 and Alloy, I was able to set up a test server or rough draft server which she could see.
No need. @elixirgraphics has already written everything you need in the excellent Alloy documentation, and accompanying videos.
Adam’s documentation really is your friend - it’ll save you wasting hours on needless work, and that existing process sounds insane - just give her a login, and let her go nuts - she can edit and publish/republish to her heart’s content!
…Unless you’re charging for your time maintaining two servers and publishing to live, of course…
