Browse Forums Ideas Box 1 Jan 31, 2014 8:05 pm Hi all, I am ready to start the links to my blog but i'm not sure how to do it. Ive read the instructions in the Building forum (still got a bit confused) but I also read somewhere that people aren't using the home building blogs anymore. If not, what is the new way? If it is still the way I'm just having another go at it tonight. Also I'm a bit of a tech loser and am easily confused. Please be kind, Jo Re: Need assistance with my blog please 2Feb 01, 2014 10:14 am The new way I have since learned is a thread, rather than a blog. Which one is preferable please? Re: Need assistance with my blog please 3Feb 02, 2014 2:55 pm Hi Joanne, Creating your own building thread (in the Building a New House forum) is the preferred method as you're able to share your building journey with the option of adding photos as you go. Requesting to add a link to your blog to the Home Building Blogs is a way for your blog to get more exposure, also. I hope this helps. Re: Need assistance with my blog please 4Feb 02, 2014 3:03 pm Also if you are using a different website to create a building blog you can add that to the blog list. That seemed to be the original intention as when i first joined a few years ago people often did both. Now days as Homeone said, most just have a thread in the new building section and host their photos off site ( photobucket/ flicker/facebook) to add to their thread posts. Re: Need assistance with my blog please 5Feb 03, 2014 8:29 pm Thanks kexkez and others. One other question I couldnt find the answer to in any FAQ etc is how does one actually start a thread? I'm going to have a blog and a thread. I believe no one will read the blog (started it for my family) however the thread seems to post on the home building forum each time an update is made so I like that better. If someone could just tell me how please Re: Need assistance with my blog please 6Feb 04, 2014 12:57 pm On the main forum page click Building a New House. Then click the orange button that reads New Topic. Hope this helps.
