A blog is a frequently updated personal journal or diary. It is a place to express yourself and share your thoughts.

The following blog levels are available on the hub:

1. Site blog - blogs created by site administrators for the whole hub. These are displayed under https://yourhub.org/blog.

   The site blog may also list group or member blogs with privacy set to public or registered members, depending on the display settings chosen by hub administrators.

2. Group blog - blogs created by group members for the group. These are displayed under https://yourhub.org/groups/yourgroup/blog and may also appear in the site blog depending on the blog post’s privacy setting and the hub’s site blog display settings.
3. Member blog - personal blogs by any hub member. These can be found under https://yourhub.org/members/membernumber/blog and may also appear in the site blog depending on the blog post’s privacy setting and the hub’s site blog display settings.

Note: You must be logged in on the hub in order to perform blog functions other than reading public blogs.

Whether you're adding a member blog post, group blog post, or site blog post, the steps are the same, except for the entry point.
