Go to Elxis administration and to component eBlog. From there you create eBlogs.

me like administrator, but if one user want to make his own blog how he can create, he must contact with me?

This is something that is up to you. You asked me how you create eBlogs and I answered you.
Elxis Blogs are created from the administration panel. You dont really want to have everybody access to create blogs and upload files without your approval! You create the blogs and assign them to the users you wish.

So, as a test:
I also created a section called test blog, and a category called test blog.
I have created 4 users, one as super admin, one as publisher, one author, and one as registered.
Then I created 3 blogs.

When I log in as a registered user, I don't see a selection in the user menu for adding content to the blog.

When I log in as a author user, I see a selection in the user menu for adding content, and then ADD, then a drop down menu that shows test blog.

When I log in as a publisher user, I see a selection in the user menu for adding content, and then ADD, then a drop down menu that shows test blog.

When I log in as a super admin user, I see a selection in the user menu for adding content, and then ADD, then a drop down menu that shows test blog.

I also setup using the menu manager, a blog content category, a blog content section, and an eblog link.
From what I see, the eblog link sets up individual user links to their blogs, then they can be grouped in either a section or category, or simply as a menu link for individual user blogs.

So far, from what I have seen, the admin will be responsible for all this.

The only question left is that when I created each blog, there is a selection to turn SETTINGS and UPLOAD on / off.
I did not see anything in the user menus regarding these settings.  Is this because I did not add any content to any of the users yet?

Okay, calm down admins, I have found some more answers.

Here are some screen shots based that help to answer my previous question about the user control panel for the blog.

After creating the menus that you will see here, then log in as a user with publishing access.

On the left is the user menu, and when selecting the test blog - eblog link of the user, you will see the control panel center screen on the right.

Clicking the control panel


When the blog was created for the user, if the admin gives the user access to the control panel, this is what the user can modify.


Finally, the user can also create new content for posting as seen here.  Note, user must have author privledge as minimum.


Also, for front end users, the content must be authorized by either a publisher or backend user.

I think this helps to clarify the major part of using the blog.

Hope that it helps.

Don't confuse eBlog with blog.

eBlog is a component for managing user blogs like blogspot
blog is a display method for content sections and categories that is applied to menu items.

When we talk about eBlog's blog we are not talking about content!
I am happy that you found the control panel 

Suggestion 1: Don't use apostrophes and other strange characters on titles. They might cause problems to various parts of the site (XHTML compatibility, SEO PRO, XML feeds, etc)
Suggestion 2: Always fill-in some tags (3-5 are enough) for each blog's post. They are used for grouping similar posts, as keywords and also in search.
