An Explanation of Member Blogs

Submitted by jack sprat on 15 August, 2008 - 11:00.

Greypath members can write personal blog entries (web logs) that are stored in the Greypath databases.

When you are logged in as a member you can view all your blog entries by clicking the "my blog" item in the left hand menu. Other members are also able to view your entries using links from various parts of the Greypath website. For example, if you post an entry to the "Bookworm" part of the site, (see under the top of home page, FORUM tab), at the bottom of your posting will be a link to your blog and all its entries.

At present, your blog entries can be put into one of four categories: the default is "<none>", then there is "General", "Bugle Blog" and "The Bookworm". You select the appropriate category when writing a blog entry.

Which category should you use?

Select "General" if you do not want your blog entry to go into either the "Bugle Blog" or the "Bookworm". Other members will be able to see your blog entry (and other members' blog entries) if they click the "Members Blogs" item in the left navigation menu.

Select "Bugle Blog" is your blog entry is about an interesting incident that happened during your day - something that other Greypath members would find interesting.

Select "The Bookworm" for entries about books.

You can leave the category as "<none>" if you like - there are no menu items that point to such entries but other members _can_ link to them from the "Bugle Blog" or "The Bookworm" pages.

Here are links to the pages for categorised blog entries:

The Bugle Blog

The Bookworm

You can comment on other members' blogs, and they can comment on yours. Good comments are a way to enliven the site and get to know other people better.
