Today, there are dozens of platforms and publishing options if you wish to create a blog. But if you’re seeking to blog for an internal audience in your organization, creating a SharePoint blog is your best bet.
You can use the blog for whatever you wish — for example, an executive could share quick tips and motivational thoughts on a blog every morning, or an account manager could record success stories with customers that the whole organization can access.
To create a SharePoint Online blog:
- From the SharePoint site where you wish to create your blog (i.e. your team site), click the settings gear and select Site Contents.
- At the bottom of the page, click new subsite.
- Enter a name for your blog in the Title field and an optional description.
- Enter the end of the URL that you’d like to use for the blog in Web Site Address, i.e. “blog” or “teamblog.”
- On the Collaboration tab, select Blog.
- Set user permissions, either inherited from the parent site or unique permissions. If you choose to set unique permissions, you’ll need to set them up after creating the blog.
- Under Navigation Inheritance, select Yes or No to use the top navigation bar from the parent site.
- Click Create. Your blog will be created.
You can create your first post by clicking Create post. You can even publish from Word!
