Add Blog Sections to your Pages

On the Blog Home page of your school, you can click on the +Αdd section and choose among the available Blog sections or build your own empty page section layout. 

You can also add a Learning Apps → Blog posts section that will display the latest news from the Blog.

Once you have inserted a Blog post section, click on Edit Blog Postcards to control the cards' appearance and settings. 

Share your Blog in the Topbar

We suggest adding a Blog Home page link at your school's topbar for it to be easily accessible. 

1. Edit Topbar → After Sign in/up view.

2. Click the Navigation buttons widget and add a new button via the plus icon +.

3. Give a name to your button (e.g. Blog Home Page).

4. Click on the pencil icon to edit it.

5. Go to on click action → App → Blog from the drop-down menu. You can choose if the Blog Home page will open in the same or a new window.

6. Don't forget to click on Save & Close.

You have now created a navigation link in your (After sign-in/up) top bar for your Blog Home page that users can anytime click and get directed to your school's Blog.

Notes:

• If you disable the Blog, you will still be able to add/edit posts with admin permissions; however, your users will not have access to your blog.
• With our Daily news App, you can also promote your Blog in the News Feed.
• The LearnWorlds blog doesn't support a commenting functionality hence there is no possibility for the users to add comments, but mostly they can read your blog articles and have access to a great blog knowledge base. If you wish your users to interact and add comments, you can take advantage of the LearnWorlds community.
