How To Start Your Own Blog

Starting your own Blog

'Blog' is an abbreviated version of 'weblog'. A blog features diary-type commentary and is usually presented as a list of entries in reverse chronological order. Members blog about different topics: treatment, interests, likes and dislikes, news/research related to ME/CFS. Recent blog entries appear in the forum sidebar. To see all the blog entries, click on the 'Blogs' tab at the top of the forum.

Prior to posting a blog entry, you can add a description that will appear below all your blog entries

  • Click on the down-arrow found beside your username on the user tabs (top right-hand side of forum pages)
  • Choose 'Blog Detail' from the list
  • Type a description in the 'Blog Author Description' text box (this is the description that will appear below all your blog entries).
  • Click on 'Save'
