Discussion

When you make changes that affect the display of your weblog, involving areas such as templates, category labels and so on, you will need to rebuild your pages to see these changes reflected on your public site. Rebuilding is the process of merging templates with weblog content to publish pages that visitors can view in their browsers.

When you need to rebuild, click the Rebuild Site button in the Weblog Toolbar. A pop-up window will open giving you the choice of either rebuilding your entire site or only one of your archive types. Select the rebuild option which best suits the changes you have made to your content, and press the Rebuild button. Rebuilding pages for a specific archive type is naturally faster than rebuilding your entire site.

Rebuilding a site can take a fair amount of time depending on the quantity of content in each weblog and the number of archive options in use. Please be patient, and do not abort the rebuilding process.

When editing or creating an entry you needn't do a rebuild of your pages. Changes to entries marked "Publish" will automatically rebuild the archives for that entry and all of the indexes.
