Can A Stake Have a Blog?
Our Stake President has asked if we can have a stake blog to use for posting pictures and brief stories about stake events such as service days, 4th of July stake breakfast, YW camp, training events and so forth. Does anyone know what guidelines exist regarding creating a stake blog? If allowed, any recommended method or site such as blogspot.com or other? Any stakes have a successful blog and have tips on how to proceed? Thanks for your help.

No one said a blog has to allow comments. There are many, many blogs on the Internet that don't allow comments. The Newsletter is most certainly a blog.marianomarini wrote:But it's not a blog.
Leaders can publish news and anouncements but there's no way to post a reply or a comment or a question.
Note also that the original post said nothing about comments -- the Newsletter feature meets the requirements that were stated, and it has the great added advantage of being secured and within policy.
Questions that can benefit the larger community should be asked in a public forum, not a private message.

Please point your Stake President to Handbook 2:21.1.22
That section does detail exceptions and how personal blogs should be handled.Stake and ward Web sites may be created only by using the official Church Internet resources. Stakes and wards are not authorized to create other Web sites or blogs or otherwise have a Church-sponsored presence on the Internet.

I agree that Newsletter meet the requirement of kammeyer4 post.
I was distracted by a request of our RS Stake President that ask for a blog for sharing idea and comments.
Maybe a forum will be more worth for that.

Forum's vs. blogs
1. What is the difference between a forum and a blog?
2. Does the church allow for a stake to make a forum where comments can be made?
3. What if non-members would like to see and learn from comments posted on a stake blog through LDS.org? Can someone grant them access or would they have to be a member of the church?
