Somehow you've posted the same message about four times. I've only got
one answer for it, though...%P
It happens that it is not only possible but unnecessary to create a
template; blog entries are made through a template already, and you need
only modify that template.
Of course, all XWiki pages are Velocity templates, but you have two big
fat clues that you're editing through a template that's stored as an
XWiki document: first, the form isn't the same as the generic document
editing template, and has application data fields instead of only
Document fields (title, parent, tags, etc); second, the URL is
different, as explained below.
To find out where that template is, you need to edit the page's source
rather than its form data. I don't remember how that's done with the
GUI on 1.0, but the URI for editing a page named Web.Page is
/xwiki/bin/edit/Web/Page. What you will find is that normally when
editing a blog entry you are not using the "edit" action (the portion of
the URL after /xwiki/bin/) but the "inline" action, so that the URL ends
with /xwiki/bin/inline/Web/Page. This will show you an #include
directive, probably #includeTemplate, with the name of the form as its
argument. The GUI will also notify you of the existence of any included
document[s]. For example, with the skin that I'm using, a right-side
toolbar field below the Parent field announces "1 included document:"
and lists its name with an "Edit" link next to it.
Of course, that will only let you edit the text of the document itself;
if (as I infer from your statement that you wish to make entries "more
structured") you intend to add fields to the object, you will have to
use the class editor on that class, which is another topic.

Subject: [xwiki-users] Template for Blog Entry
Hello,
I am working on creating blog entries using xwiki. I was
wondering if it would be possible to create a template for
the blog entries so that they will be more structured.
Thank you for your time and help!
