Aurora: Create a blog post
Community members can create posts in blog boards they have permission to access. When authoring posts, you have the option to publish immediately or save your progress and edit or publish at a later time.
Published blog posts are available immediately on the community. When other members find and read this content, they can like or comment on it. Members with appropriate permissions can view the author's profile, and add more Tags.
As an author, you can always come back and edit this content later to add more info or make any corrections.
Notes:
- You can use markdown syntaxes while writing the content instead of formatting the text using toolbar options. Also, you can use other keyboard shortcuts to work quickly and efficiently. Learn more about keyboard shortcuts.
- While creating a blog post, the content is auto-saved. Upon reloading the page, the content is auto-recovered and you can continue to edit.
- Admins and members who started the post or have edit access to the post can add or remove tags. Learn more about tags.
- By default, members who comment on an article automatically follow the post.

- Delete the blog post
- Reject
- Report Content
- Block further edits to the blog post

Most of these tasks are available from the Options menu:
