A <strong>private<\/strong> blog can only be viewed by users with a WordPress role on the blog. A <strong>Glow only<\/strong> blog can only be viewed by a glow user who is logged onto glow.<br><em>Only a glow user who has a teacher or non-teaching staff glow account can make a blog public<\/em>. A pupil can create a blog and make it either private or glow only. If a pupil wants to have a public blog they need to give a member of staff an administrator role on their blog, that staff member can then make the blog public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Users should conside the consequences publishing to a public blog. Publishing publicly can give pupils a real audience for their work and make tasks more authentic but they need to be aware internet safety and data protection issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Users can have different roles on a blog, these will come with different affordances you can read more about the role on the <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/glowblogs\/glowbloghelp\/settings\/adding-users-setting-roles-2\/\">Adding Users, Setting Roles<\/a> page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The roles of <strong>Administrator<\/strong> and <strong>Author<\/strong> are the most commonly used roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to create a blog<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Glow Blogs consists of 33 <em>instances<\/em>, one for each Local Authority and one Central one. You should see 2 tiles on your RMunify home page, one for your LA and one for the central instance. Typically you will create a blog on your LA instance. If you need to collaborate with Glow users from other LAs you can create a blog on the central Glow Blogs instance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Create a Blog<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"750\" data-attachment-id=\"5148\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/glowblogs\/glowbloghelp\/how-to\/creating-a-blog\/glow-blogs-north-lanarkshire-homepage\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/glowblogs\/public\/glowbloghelp\/uploads\/sites\/2545\/2024\/04\/17165112\/glow-blogs-north-lanarkshire-homepage.png\" data-orig-size=\"1200,879\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"glow-blogs-north-lanarkshire-homepage\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/glowblogs\/public\/glowbloghelp\/uploads\/sites\/2545\/2024\/04\/17165112\/glow-blogs-north-lanarkshire-homepage-500x366.png\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/glowblogs\/public\/glowbloghelp\/uploads\/sites\/2545\/2024\/04\/17165112\/glow-blogs-north-lanarkshire-homepage-1024x750.png\" data-id=\"5148\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/glowblogs\/public\/glowbloghelp\/uploads\/sites\/2545\/2024\/04\/17165112\/glow-blogs-north-lanarkshire-homepage-1024x750.png\" alt=\"Glow Blogs - North Lanarkshire Home page\" class=\"wp-image-5148\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/glowblogs\/public\/glowbloghelp\/uploads\/sites\/2545\/2024\/04\/17165112\/glow-blogs-north-lanarkshire-homepage-1024x750.png 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/glowblogs\/public\/glowbloghelp\/uploads\/sites\/2545\/2024\/04\/17165112\/glow-blogs-north-lanarkshire-homepage-500x366.png 500w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/glowblogs\/public\/glowbloghelp\/uploads\/sites\/2545\/2024\/04\/17165112\/glow-blogs-north-lanarkshire-homepage-768x563.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/glowblogs\/public\/glowbloghelp\/uploads\/sites\/2545\/2024\/04\/17165112\/glow-blogs-north-lanarkshire-homepage.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To create a blog you log onto glow and click on the blog&#8217;s tile.
