Huddle Blogs Are Here....

[Jeremy Igo]

I am pleased to announce a new feature on the Huddle.... Huddle Blogs

Huddle blogs are not a replacement for the Huddle forum, but an addition to store longer, more refined entries that deserve a section of their own. 

Huddlers can create their own Blog, give it a title, and begin writing entries for it. You can then promote your blog on social media with your own URL that will point only to the entries you have made. Huddlers can then read and comment on your entries and even rate them. We will be featuring the most popular and highest rated blog entries on the main page and in the forum. 

To start, click Blogs in the main menu, create a blog and choose a title, upload a main photo, and you are off! Be deliberate! Huddlers are allowed only one blog for all their entries, so make it count and make it interesting.

what do you mean by one blog for all their entries? like individual huddlers can't have more than one blog or what?

[LUUUUUKE]

Well damn, that was quick. I must now become All-Pro to honor my commitment

[ThPantherFan]

How do I blog?

[PhillyB]

also, is their any kind of interface between blog content and forum content? like if i make an effort post on a topic for my blog, should i not also make a thread with it on the main page in case it gets selected for promotion?

"From Odd To Mod: A Success Story" for my blog title and my daily musings. Is that too over the top?

[LUUUUUKE]

Great questions PhillyB, also can we blog about anything, and it sounds like we only get one shot at a blog name.

 

please clarify for us Jeremy

One blog. Unlimited blog entries (articles) The blog you create and name is the container for all of your submitted content.

Yes, anything. Up to you.

Also, if you give blogging a shot, but its just not for you, you can delete your blog entirely. Deleted blogs cannot be recovered.

​awesome. ok to post the same content elsewhere or do you wanna keep content limited to its origin?

​For now, if you create a new lengthy blog post, I would say if you want people to read it treat it like an article from another site. Maybe start a new topic, include a brief paragraph and link, and if people are interested they can click over to it. 

Hopefully this will help cut down on times when people write really well thought out posts, and the first reply is a one word answer, TLDR or some GIF. Thats a major pet peeve of mine. Also, bloggers can delete any worthless comments from their article page.

This is a great idea. The Huddle has many well informed contributers that should take advantage of this. I don't have the knowledge or writing talent to blog myself, but I look forward to reading and learning from others.

[LUUUUUKE]

This was well thought out. Especially like the fact that you can eliminate the trolls from your blog
