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 application. In order to create a community blog, have the Communities application deployed for Lotus Connections.The following are the various ways users and owners can access blogs:
- A blog you create from the My Blogs or Public Blogs page is a public blog. It is displayed on the Public Blogs 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 Public Blogs 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 Public Blogs page, but you can view and manage the blog and its entries from the My Blogs 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 Public Blogs 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 Public Blogs 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, which means 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 Blogs page.
