Blog

[jamesgeddes]

Must

• [ ] Create a public blog that members can contribute posts to.

This Codemy guide should do the trick.

Should

• [ ] be able to autopost to twitter, facebook bla bla bla
• [ ] Members should be able to flag posts.

If a member flags a post, the post should be made visible to members only. Another member should review before the post can be published again. Public should be shown "This post is currently awaiting member review. Why not take a look at this other great article?"

• [ ] Utilise a global category system

Should use the same category system as the wiki, see #82, similar to how MediaWiki categories work.

Could

• [ ] Member approval

The first x (three?) posts that a member publishes could require approval from another GZ member before publishing.

Another option here is to integrate with a platform like https://www.contentful.com/

Building a blog is quite easy in a sense, but the devil is in the detail when building an editor for people to write posts.

As long as we are keeping members at www.Geek.Zone then I'll be happy 😄
