2. Select a site.
3. In the General Admin tree, expand the Admin node, and then double click the Tree node.
4. Click Add New Tree Tab.

5. In the Add New Tree Tab form, fill in the fields:

   • Title: Enter a short, descriptive name, of up to 64 characters.

   • Tooltip: Enter a short, informative description of the tab, up to 255 characters. This description opens when a user mouses over the tab.

   • Site: Select the sites that display this tab. You must enable the blog asset types on these sites. For instructions, see Enabling Blog Asset Types.

   • Required Roles: Select the roles a user must be assigned to access this tab.

   • Tab Contents: Select the asset types that opens on the tab and then click Add Selected Items.

   • (Optional) To add custom functionality to this tab, use the Section Name and Element Name fields. See Customizing Blog Components in Developing with Oracle WebCenter Sites.
