How to start a blog?

[Shelley]

I have spent the last hour or so trying to work out how to start a blog of my own, but can't figure it out. it's probably something simple but it has got me foxed.

Did you try this:

click on your username in the top right corner, then in the menu select "my profile".

Then in the list on the left side, select "blog".

Yes and all I get is - no blog entries. Can't see text box to type in or a start new blog button or similar.

hm I can't remember how I created mine...

What about "manage blogs" in the username menu?

I had to remove the ability to start blogs - we had loads of spam and not much real content. I can create them for people who want one though.

Ah that explains that, don't feel so silly now.

 

Well I wanted to start one to put all the advice I seem to be giving about study methods and materials in one place and as somewhere to create a sort of diary for when I start the new course I am taking through edx starting July this 6th.

 

So if you think that is worthy of a blog, I would like to start it.

I too would like to start a blog. I currently already have a wordpress blog so I am almost daily posting good information about Chinese learning that I would also like to post here.

I think you might be better off adding a link in your signature to your blog. Blogs aren't used much here on the forums.

 

You can add links if you go to your profile and find the signature section.

 

I have been busy and need to update my blog, I will do so soon.

If you have an old account use that. If you can't access it let us know and we'll sort that out. If you're here to sell what your email address suggests you're here to sell, move along...
