Use blog posts to express ideas or opinions and get community feedback. If you've got something to say, get your blog going!
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, for example, "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 want to see some of the blogs in your
community, go to your avatar > Your Content, select All on the left, and
then click Blog Posts.
You'll see the latest blog posts from around the community.
To start a new blog post, click > Blog post.
Note: If you haven't created a blog before, you'll get a choice between setting up
your own personal blog and posting in a blog belonging to a particular place. Place blogs
typically relate to the subject matter of a group or space.
After you've written some content and decided where to publish it, you can also decide
whether to publish it right away by clicking Publish, or whether to schedule it for a later
date. Select Schedule when this post gets published and then select
the time and date you want.
Managing Blogs
When you manage your blog or your place's blog, you can create new posts, view and post comments, import content from an external blog into your Jive blog, subscribe to your blog's comments, and set other options.
Designing Blog Posts
You can choose arresting visual elements for your blog post, including images and an enlarged initial capital.
Importing Content into My Blog
If you have content from another blog that you want to bring into your Jive blog, you can import it by converting it to Movable Type first.
