Make the blog more than a repository for spam #48

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
12- Blog Tool needs explanation/tool tips & CSS tweaks I think the "split
summary at cursor" feature is cool but will confuse people who don't have a
blog and don't know what a post excerpt is. When I view the post, I don't
like how it looks, it's hard to read, but I assume you're still working on
visual design stuff and this might be improved (more whitespace after the
categories would really help, so would differentiating post date and tags
from main post somehow - this is all after clicking "read more" to see what
came after my post summary

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
See above.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Version beta - OS and browser unknown

I tried posting something in my Blog and encountered this when I typed in the 
tags:

Personally, though, I *love* the idea of suggested tags. Please keep it.

There's this "More information about formatting options" guide a little lower 
in the
post-something-in-your-blog page. It would be great if it shows up in a pop-up 
or a
new tab rather than the same tab, so it doesn't interfere with the blogging 
experience.

This is the result: http://beta.ourmedia.org/blogs/evelynd

After posting an entry and navigating away (e.g. back to HOME or FORUMS), I had 
no
idea how to access my blog again. Dashboard only provides me with a link to 
post a
new post. I'm not sure whether I missed the link or it's just not there. If it 
wasn't
there, perhaps provide that option or url ( 
http://beta.ourmedia.org/blogs/evelynd )
in the Dashboard and user portfolio for easy access?

I tried to post a comment to see if the html works. It's put in queue.

this is essentially the same issue as 'create channel item' - the UI needs to 
reworked and clearer instruction 
provided

What is the purpose of the blog? Is it meant to be self contained in the users
profile and any member channels (in which they have permission to post a blog)? 
We
don't really want a random repository for spam, do we?
http://beta.ourmedia.org/blog
http://www.ourmedia.org/blog

* Provide users a clear idea of why they would want submit a blog entry and a 
visible
set of instructions and links to resources directly on the page.
* Require the user to select a topic and add tags for subtopics and location (if
applicable).
* Give them the ability to add to relevant channels as well as external sites.
* Possibly a simple WYSIWYG editor for entering the body content.
* Provide an easy way to add relevant media.

We should not have a central 'blog' area and only recommended content should 
appear
on any main landing pages or sections.

More ideas/examples being hashed out here:

Marked as wontfix until we have a chance to review them, so that new issues
are shown clearly.
