Blog tool

melissa.gish@glenville.edu

Are there better instructions someplace for the blog tool? It was just added to my course in the new template, and I can't find any instructions to help students create blogs. Can blogs be graded? Can a link to blogs be added to the Content Menu? Or to the ribbon at the top of the page? I can't even find a way to add a link to the blog page in an html document or assignment. This is the only info I can find, but it's not helpful: https://community.d2l.com/brightspace/kb/articles/3610-create-a-blog. Any other suggestions?

Hi @melissa.gish@glenville.edu,

Thanks for reaching us through community!!

The link of document which you provided is right and it has information to Write a blog entry.

I can see a PIE request for one of your query - Make it easier for users to obtain their D2L blog RSS feed url (D834)

Other requests seem like a good one, please consider submitting the idea into the Product Idea Exchange for review and consideration.

Thanks,

Sangeetha
