It can help or Support and Developer Team if you take screenshots of problems that you find.
It is also a good idea to include the URL (web address) of the blog you have an issue with.
Finally if you know the operating system, for example Windows 10, and browser, Chrome 30, and versions these can help.

Hi John,
After taking part on your Blogging Bootcamp last January we are well on our way with our school blog / website. As it is a whole establishment site we are all learning and we are keen for children and all staff to contribute. Noticing we are using about 25% of memory. Apart from creating other blogs and linking them what can we do? Appreciate any help.
Hi Alison,
Each blog has 1025MB as the total file upload limit. This can be increased by request through the RM help desk. It is best to try and manage the space carefully if possible as the space cannot be increased indefinitely.
Hello I have recently set up class blog of which I am administrator. The pupils are contributors but I notice when I am in their dashboard that they cannot add photos to their own posts. Am I missing something or is this open only to administrators? Thanks for your help.
Hi Sharon,
A contributor cannot publish anything, so they cannot upload files. An author can publish posts and upload files. They cannot edit other users posts.
More info on the different roles.
I have set up a blog for Hill of Banchory school. I have made this available to GLOW users only but it is not appearing on the Aberdeenshire Blogs page once I click through on the tile. Any ideas? Thanks
THe Aberdeenshire Blogs page will only show public blogs. You will need to send a link to the people you want to see the blog or make it a public blog.
