Blogs are a sort of informal article which aims to help members solve problems, learn about new topics, and develop their own practice.  

How to access blogs?

Blogs can be found within groups in the community. If a group has a blog, it will be displayed on the left of the page or the header at the top of the group page. 

To access a blog post, select the blog post displayed and you will be presented with it. You can also access the blog channels via the header of the group. 

How to interact with blogs?

If you would like to add a comment or ask a question about the blog then use the comment box at the bottom of a blog post to do so. Enter your question or comment in the text box and press or select enter to post it. 

Before posting, you can edit your post by using the formatting tools at the bottom of the text box. We advise that you stick with the default text and don't edit too much so that all members can access your comment. 

The number of comments that have been made about that post and how many members are accessing it can be found above the text box. And the comments can be filtered by oldest, best and newest below the text box. 

When scrolling down the page, you will see all the comments other members have posted. You can like, reply or vote for these posts using the corresponding buttons.
