Who can see my blog? Creating public and restricted blogs
Where your blog displays and how users interact with it depends on whether it is public or restricted. Restricted blogs are created from the Communities feature. Note that in order to create a community blog, have the Communities feature deployed for Lotus Connections.
The following are the various ways users and owners can access blogs:
- A blog you create from the My Blog tab or from the Blogs home page is a public blog. It is displayed on the Blogs home page and is available for all to read.
- A blog created for a public community is a public blog. In addition to being available to people who join or visit the community page, the blog displays on the Blogs home page and is available for all to read.
- A blog created for a restricted community is available only to the community members. Neither the community blog nor any of its entries will be available from the Blogs home page, but you can view and manage the blog and its entries from the My Blog page.
- If you create a blog for a restricted community, but then change the community to a public community, the blog will then display on the Blogs home page and will be available for all to read.
- A blog created for a moderated community is a public blog. It is displayed on the Blogs home page and is available for all to read. A moderated community is a public community, but users must ask to join. By default, comments for a moderated community blog are also moderated, meaning they are not posted to the blog until the blog owner reviews and approves them. You can modify the moderate comments setting by editing the blog settings from the community, or by editing the blog settings from the My Blog page.
