How do I create a blog post in the Instructure Community?
You can create a blog to share your personal experiences and expertise with Instructure products and offer insights from your unique perspective.
Community members can post blogs in most Instructure Community Groups and in some role- or product-specific blogs, such as the Instructor blog or Impact user blog. Please do not create duplicate posts in multiple groups. Also remember that blogs are meant for sharing thoughts, experiences, stories, tips and tricks, and other similar content. Blogs are not a place to post idea conversations or questions about using a product.
Instructure reserves the right to remove any blog content that does not meet our Community guidelines.
