    I was wondering, for your blog on this site, do you have it so only you can add posts to that category? When I click on New Topic when in the Blog category it looked like I could add a one. I didn’t finish it and actually post a topic, but it made me curious.

    I like the layout with the three cards at the top. I am thinking that is the cards plugin that you use that allows you to do that?

    No, it’s currently open for all.

    That is interesting. You don’t see that very often where anyone could post a blog.

    @Madchatthew It’s actively encouraged. It’s not just me with stories to tell.

    @phenomlab I like that philosophy. Everyone’s voice is allowed to be heard. Very nice!

    The purpose of the blog category is for members to write in their own style and be given the freedom to express themselves - as long as it relates to technology. So, for example, it could be a story of sorts about your experiences etc, and the idea is that others read it and add their comments.

    I’ve written a fair number of posts myself, and sometimes, they seem to fall into complete silence, and other times, become quite the discussion topic. Blog posting is designed to be more than “coffee break” reading in the sense that this specific category is designed to invoke thought, and a longer than average response from the reader if they decide to partake.

    It’s not for everyone, but something I wanted to include as an area where all members are free to post - subject to the usual rules of course, which can be found below

    @Madchatthew As an example, this is one of the much longer blog posts from me - it mostly is all me with input from @crazycells (thanks) at various points along the journey. It’s a topic I’m passionate about, but I realise it’s not everyone’s core interest, so I mostly post there myself as a way of sharing my views.

    @Roki-Antic Welcome! This site isn’t running Persona, but Harmony - a very heavily customised version at that. Do you have a URL where your site is currently located that is publicly accessible? Feel free to PM this info if you do not want to disclose here. Happy to help with any customisation needs.

    @DownPW it’s possible, yes, but you may inadvertently end up targeting other elements using the same class which of course isn’t desired. Can you provide a link in DM for me to review?

    @Sampo2910 no problems. Happy to help. Just remember that this particular method isn’t the best in the sense that it may not get update notifications. The general recommendation here would be to move back to the official npm repo as soon as the GitHub version has been merged. For the meantime, it’ll work fine though.

    @crazycells I guess the worst part for me was the trolling - made so much worse by the fact that the moderators allowed it to continue, insisting that the PeerLyst coming was seeing an example by allowing the community to “self moderate” - such a statement being completely ridiculous, and it wasn’t until someone else other than myself pointed out that all of this toxic activity could in fact be crawled by Google, that they decided to step in and start deleting posts. In fact, it reached a boiling point where the CEO herself had to step in and post an article stating their justification for “self moderation” which simply doesn’t work. The evidence here speaks for itself.
