How Blogging Appears on the Live Internal Site
On the KB Internal Site (e.g. https://kb.wisc.edu/yourGroupName/internal/)
To read or post a comment to a KB Document scroll to the bottom of the document. If blogging is enabled for this document the Discussion box will be displayed and any posts will be displayed below the Discussion box.
Buttons Available when Leaving a Comment on a Document
Post
Enter post (your thoughts, feedback, and comments) regarding a KB document in the Discussion text box at the bottom of any document with blogging enabled. Posts are displayed in reverse chronological order (most recent post displays at the top of the section).
Any URLs included in a post will be converted to HTML links. All other html is ignored.
Edit
Posts can be edited by the owner of the post.
Delete
Posts can be deleted by the moderator (KB Administrators with "Publish" rights). The delete button will only appear for the moderator. The Delete button will hide the post; it will not delete the post from the database.
