People typically use blogs (short for "web logs") as online journals, except that these journals are exposed to the whole world. QDL supports this, and while in other areas of QDL (such as the QDL / Topics folder) you have to abide by guidelines set up by the owner of the parent post, in the Blogs, you're the owner, and you can do pretty much anything you want (within the limits of the Site Rules).

 

The cool thing about blogs in QDL is that you're not limited to just posting sequential comments, optionally allowing people to reply. You can organize your blog however you like.

 

If you have not already set up your blog, go to QDL / My... / Settings / Profile, and check the box that says, "create post for me in blog folder."

 

To allow or block responses to your blog posts by individual or by group,

1. Click the Action Menu icon (), and next to the Metadata option (), click edit.
2. In the Rights section, set the Adders field appropriately.
3. Click Submit.
