Requirements
Only Administrators can establish new Blog Feeds. These users are authorized to oversee all Blog Feeds throughout the platform. Other platform members can compose Blog Posts provided they've been assigned appropriate permissions for the specific Blog Feed where they wish to contribute. (Refer to the Blog Permissions Guide for details.)
Setting Up a New Blog Feed
To access existing Blog Feeds or establish a new one:
- Go to Account and select Manage blogs:
- You can establish a new Blog Feed by selecting create a new blog, or begin composing content within an existing feed. You can also navigate in your existing blogs, and manage the posts by clicking on it.
Blog Feed Administration
After establishing a Blog Feed, from the Manage blogs screen:
- Select the Blog Feed name to access it.
- Select Blog settings to manage blog visibility, add a description, retrieve the blog's URL, and configure whether the announcement feature should be activated by default for all posts
- You can also set a default segment to display the blog only to a specific audience within your organization. See the Segment Management guide or contact your Customer Success Manager or Implementation team for assistance.
Once your blog is set up, select Blog Roles to manage posting permissions for each blog. Refer to this article for guidance on roles.
