The CMS Tech Blog was created to allow users the ability to post about technology and receive comments from other users. The Home page shows all posts ordered by date (most recent at the top) with the number of comments for each post. If the user is not logged in they will not be able to view, or add any comments. After Sign Up or Login the user can post on their Dashboard. From here they are also able to edit or delete any posts they have created. On the Home page the user can click on the post title or (comments under post) to view the comments, or add comments. Any comments posted can only be edited or deleted by the user that created the comment. By clicking on the username in the comments section, the user can update or delete their own comments (if not the user, they will not be able to access the comment). Once the user is done, they can use Logout to end their session.
