Forum:Blog question

I'm writing all the update in a blog post. I only have one problem, other users can not edit the post. Is it possible to write blog post, that anyone can edit? -- Darth Stefan Talk http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/lostpedia/nl/images/e/e5/Stefan_handtekening.PNG  19:51, October 22, 2009 (UTC)
 * It works fine for me on Firefox, but it fails for me on IE. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 22:27, October 22, 2009 (UTC)

I think Michael misunderstood the question, which was about if there can be blog postings that anyone can edit. As far as I know, no, that's not possible since blogs and blog comments are tied directly into user's accounts. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 23:28, October 22, 2009 (UTC)


 * I must have missed the announcement of blogs and the associated promotional propaganda because I cannot see what can be done with a blog that cannot be done better with a forum post. If you want readers to edit your post (and be able to preview and edit their own responses to your post) then the forum is a better tool than the blog. The only "virtue" to the blog is the inclusion of each user's avatar. Please enlighten me if you are aware of other distinguishing features.
 * Ahh ... there is one thing that a non-sysop user can do with a blog that they cannot do with a forum post. The original poster can block readers from leaving any comments. --najevi 23:33, October 22, 2009 (UTC)


 * I agree, najevi, there is not really a blog anyone can edit. But to be blunt, there's no real point to such a feature. It might as well be indistinguishable from an article. --DaNASCAT 02:17, October 23, 2009 (UTC)


 * Same as with MediaWiki pages: Include another page that's editable by everyone.--AB 19:37, October 23, 2009 (UTC)

We do plan to do some kind of "community blog" which allows more people to edit them, but it's only in planning stages. (Thoughts and ideas are welcome). Per DaNASCAT, however, it could come close to just being a normal article. 15:03, October 23, 2009 (UTC)


 * I only use it to post updates for the wiki, that I translate into dutch. The blog is easier in this case to make a comment or vote. I think that I put a template in it. Thanks anyway. -- Darth Stefan Talk http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/lostpedia/nl/images/e/e5/Stefan_handtekening.PNG  10:34, October 24, 2009 (UTC)
