Getting more out of blogs

Use blog posts to express ideas or opinions and get community feedback.

Use your blog to express opinions, call attention to noteworthy items you've seen (such as an article on the Internet), or make proposals. Because other people can comment on your blog posts, they are a great way to pitch ideas that could impact the team or the organization. Of course, you can comment on other people's blog posts, too.

Your community might include several blogs, each allowing posts from specific people. For example, you might see "Bill's Blog" (with posts from Bill) or "The Human Resources Blog" (with posts from people in the HR department). Your administrator creates personal blogs and associates them with particular people or teams. If you've got something to say, get your blog going!

To manage your blog, go to your blog and click Manage in the Actions list. From here you can create new posts, view and post comments, import content from an external blog, subscribe to your blog's comments, and set other options. To import content from an external blog into your Jive blog, click Import from the Actions list. From there you'll be able to upload the external blog content into your Jive blog.
