Blogs are, well, blogs. More accurately, its the community blog - check out Special:ArticlesHome.
Blog pages are wiki pages like any other, except that they are framed so that they have only one author. Edits are typically of the non-substantive variety - that is, edits for formatting, grammar, layout, wikification are accepted, but changes to the authors tone or thesis are discouraged.
Blog design
Blogs use a custom skin specific to the Blog: namespace. Moving a page into the Blog: namespace will result in that page receiving that skin.
Skin nuances:
- The page has an author attributed to it. The author can be added/edited by adding the page to
[[Category:Blog by User ''Username'']]- The author’s name appears on a by-line and in the “About the Author” box. The author’s “About Me” section from his or her Social Profile is also in that box.
- The page’s creation and last edited date appear under the by-line
- Other contributors (that is, others who edited the page) appear in the “About the Author” box.
- Users other than the author who voted for the article also appear in the “About the Author” box
Blog articles make it to the top of the blog homepage - Special:ArticlesHome - when they receive a certain number of votes and/or unique commentors commenting.
Commenting
Each blog article has comments at the end of it. See Help:Embeddable Comments.
