My Blogs

This widget gives any user with access the ability to create a new blog post or edit one of their existing posts.  The blog owner can determine who is allowed to view the blog.

This widget has no customizable settings beyond those available to the end-user.

Create a New Blog Post

To make a new post, click the Create New button at the top of the My Blogs widget.

A rich text pop-up box will appear.

Enter a title for your post.

Enter the text of the post in the Entry box.  Attachments can also be added to the post.

Use the "Visibility To" drop-down menu to select who should be able to view your post.  Options include:

My Followers
Everyone who is following you.
My Team
Your manager and your peers on your team.
Selected Followers
This option will give you an additional prompt to select which of your followers can see the post.

Click either the Publish button or Save Draft, if you wish to edit more and publish later.

As soon as a post is published, it will appear in the Social Blogs widget of everyone who is in the Visibility level you selected.
