Kent 435 Posted December 17, 2016 ... to show your "pride and joy" or using blogs to document your restoration or other major project. That would keep those from "getting lost" in all these forum posts, and make them much more visible long-term. Both albums and blog entries are easily "linked and embedded" in a topic, simply by copying/pasting the URL address into the topic. I'm not trying to discourage your use of this forum, only to point out that either a blog or a photo album would make your efforts/pictures much more visible long-term. Not only can people rate/comment on them there, but you can easily link/embed them here to carry on in-depth discussion, if you'd like... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rokon2813 272 Posted December 18, 2016 I considered writing a blog about my parts business and how I'd like to change and expand it. Would that be an acceptable topic? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Absolutely. Consider it your own little corner of the Web -- as long as you don't go promoting John Deeres or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do it Dan! Also, ask Kent what the user restrictions are on the blog site here. For a business, you might want to think about starting a blog on blogger or something, unless the general public can access the blogs here. If its restricted to members only, you'll limit your exposure. If you DO start a blog on Blogger, I can walk you through setting up the RSS feed, so the forum here will pull any new posts you make on your main site (which is how I have my blog set up).

Kent 435 Posted December 18, 2016 Everyone can see the blogs. But, I think you must be registered and signed in, in order to comment or rate a blog entry - i.e. Guests cannot post there. That's to prevent spamming -- you know the "work from home and get rich" kind of crap that gets posted all over the web in comments... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
