@Mr Farson

1. I find it pretty easy creating blog entries and uploading images.

 

@The Yncarne

It's pretty easy to create and update blogs here.

 

@Wormwoods

Seconding everything @Mr Farson has said, really.

 

@Brother Nathan

as some others have noted i quite like the layout of the actual blog posts and ease of putting them together.

1. I really like the blog feature, and creating blog posts has some neat facilities (such as categories and being able to link to your galleries) that are very useful. I'd say the only issue is that it can be easy to 'lose' your blog one the blogs home page when others have added entries to their blogs, pushing it from the front page. To get round that I leave a tab with my blog open for when I need it.

 

@Bouargh

It is quite easy to use on a computer. Yet I gave up trying to use it on mobile as I am not that able with touch screens...

 

@ZeroWolf

1. I found it quite easy to set up and create new posts. It's like making an extended forum post.

 

@GreenScorpion

Hi I think I agree with most points, the blog setup is quite simple and easy to use especially when compared with blog platforms outside of this forum.

 

@Kaede45

I’ve been enjoying the blogs as a means for me to write down my ideas & put them in a public space where I can get feedback & critiques to better flesh out my ideas.

 

@Harrowmaster

I find that it is very easy to create a blog and maintain it (from a technical standpoint).

 

@W.A.Rorie

1- The creation and updating is easy. I had other blogs via blogspot and I feel that B&C is easier to use at it also host my photos in my albums and that their are individuals that do read and react to the blogs, so I am aware it is giving traffic. 

 

@apologist

1 – Easy to set up, and fairly easy to update. The main sticking point for me is remembering where to find it! I'm sure there's a better way of bookmarking it than my current method of clicking on 'blogs' at the top, then scrolling through each page in turn until I find it. I appreciate the fact that creating a new entry appears very familiar to normal posting elsewhere on the forum.

 

@drakheart

1. I found it really easy to use, no issues there.

 

@Xenith

It was quite easy, things are laid out well and the blog creation process was simple. Though I have created and run a few blogs in other places. I can't speak for someone new to it. 

 

@zulu.tango

• Incredibly easy

 

So the initial batch of feedback is unanimous in that users of the Blogs feature find it to be easy to set up and maintain blogs.

 

Subsequent participants may feel differently, however, or they may want to reinforce the conclusion, so replies are welcome.
