Get your team blogging

Hello,

Since creating groups in GroupSwim is so easy, you can start blogs for your organization, team, or anyone for that matter.  Here are a couple of ways to do it:

1.    Create an auto-join (under Privacy and Permissions in Group Settings) group and name it Blogs (or whatever you want).  This gives anyone in the site access to it and anyone can post a blog and reply
2.    Create an auto-join group but make the blog for one person (one of our clients’ CEO does this).  Here is how you configure it:

1. Click into the group
2. Click “Members” on the navigation bar at the top
3. Click “Manage members” which is an action on the right
4. Select the check box for the person or people you want to make group manager, select “Promote to manager” on the drop-down box, and click the “Go” button.  These are the people who will be allowed to post blogs in this group
5. Click back into the group (it should be the third bread crumb from the left on the top left of the page)
6. Click on “Group settings” on the navigation bar at the top
7. Click on “Privacy and access permissions”
8. Click on “Edit details” in the Custom line item
9. Select the “Managers only” radio button for the “Post discussions” line item and click close
10. Click the “Save Changes” button

What this does is create a group where only group managers (or the bloggers you want) can post but anyone can reply

I hope these suggestions help.  Let us know what you think or if you have any other ideas we can share.  Thanks.
