Ton Plomp Posted August 17, 2011 Report Posted August 17, 2011 On the Lava twitter account there was twice mentioned that you can post blog posts, however I cannot find the place where I can Add a blog post. If someone can point me, I could write a how-to or video. Ton Quote
Michael Aivaliotis Posted August 17, 2011 Report Posted August 17, 2011 Ton, I would love to open up the Blogs. I think tis feature was set hidden because of lack of interest from users. However, the feature is still there but is disabled. How many of you are interested in blogging on LAVA? Quote
GregSands Posted August 17, 2011 Report Posted August 17, 2011 Ton, I would love to open up the Blogs. I think this feature was set hidden because of lack of interest from users. However, the feature is still there but is disabled. How many of you are interested in blogging on LAVA? I guess it depends on the visibility, and therefore interaction, and whether there are any advantages over simply posting to the forums. Similar to Ton, I could imagine a few things that might make useful blog posts (i.e. they don't fit naturally into any of the forums), but whether that translates into an ongoing stream that is actually interesting is another matter.

jgcode Posted August 18, 2011 Report Posted August 18, 2011 I like the idea and have similar questions to Greg. Can you provide more info on how they would be 'used' please. What is your vision for blogs on LAVA? LAVA used to have them right? Quote
Ton Plomp Posted August 18, 2011 Author Report Posted August 18, 2011 Well I don't plan to blog on LAVA, however, since the LAVAG twitter account mentioned twice this option. (1 and 2 ) I was wondering If I had missed something. On the old blog I had some posts, but even the archives can't get them back. Ton Quote
crelf Posted August 18, 2011 Report Posted August 18, 2011 My mistake - I saw they were exposed again in the recent upgrade, so I thought they were live. That said, I'd get my old blog posts up again if the feature were available. Quote
Michael Aivaliotis Posted August 18, 2011 Report Posted August 18, 2011 New site, new posts. Let's look forward into the future, not the past. Of course we have learned from our mistakes and are smarter for it. The blogs will be featured in the navbar and there are several entry points in the forums where you will interact with them. Also, people can comment on your posts and discuss like in the forums. I'll look at turning it on soon and you can try them out. Quote
GregSands Posted August 18, 2011 Report Posted August 18, 2011 I see there is already an option in the "New Content" page to see new blog content. Seeing as the settings at the left of this page are retained, it would be great if multiple content types could be selected - for example, I'd choose to see all new forum, code, and blog entries all on one page. Perhaps it gets a little difficult with the various sections within some of the content types, but if the default was, say, forum+blog entries, that would do a lot to ensure the visibility of blog posts.
