The Blog feature you were waiting for!
Published:
Updated:
It was much trickier to add than I had anticipated, but the Edit and Delete functions are finally available for Blogs!
They have the same restrictions as Editing and Deleting your messages posted to the forums. That is, you have up to 20 minutes after you post the Blog entry to Edit and/or Delete it. I have found this time limitation to be a good balance between giving everyone the ability to fix errors (as well as second-guessing a post after a second read-through) and making sure we don't end up with a bunch of revisionist history by allowing unlimited editing.
I know the next question is going to be about deleting or editing comments made by others in your Blog entries. I am leaning towards not allowing that. The reaons are:
- Everyone already has the ability to lock their Blog entries so that comments are refused
- Allowing everyone to delete other people's comments will discourage people from posting comments
- The ability to edit other people's comments would never be allowed, no matter what - imagine someone editing YOUR comments
- If someone posts a truly "evil" comment, I can be contacted for removal. But I will only remove comments in extremely rare cases - only instances where I would immediately suspend the member's account.
Anyway, I hope everyone is helped by the new Edit and Delete functions!
