<p>Do we want to add a BLOG to this site?
Blogs are another way of communicating things that don't fit the Q&amp;A model.</p>

<p>Here is a good description of <a href="https://stackoverflow.blog/2011/06/23/blog-overflow/">what a Blog is and how you can start one</a>.</p>

<p>This post on the SuperUser Blog asking for <a href="http://blog.superuser.com/2012/02/09/are-you-interested-in-writing-for-our-blog/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">help with their Blog</a> is helpful too.</p>

Not sure what would go in it though - do you have any concrete examples of blog ideas? </p>\n\n<p>I already have a (messy) <a href="https://gr33nonline.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">blog</a>, and I am not sure if I could also write a blog on here too. I wonder what the score is regarding duplicating personal blogs on to SE blogs? </p>\n\n<hr>\n\n<h3>Content</h3>\n\n<p>An SE 3D print blog could be a good idea for <strong><em>Build Logs</em></strong>, for example, maybe. Or maybe a page that links to other people\'s superlative build logs, <a href="https://miscsolutions.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">David Crocker\'s blogs</a> come to mind.</p>\n\n<p>Is the blog (unlike the SE Q&amp;A site) allowed to contain <strong><em>links to cheap items/suppliers</em></strong>? Apparently, reviews are allowed, from <a href="https://stackoverflow.blog/2011/06/23/blog-overflow/">Blog Overflow</a>:</p>\n\n<blockquote>\n  <p><strong>Review a product</strong>. Reviews don’t fit the Q&amp;A nature of the sites, but these rules don’t apply on the blog!  Between a review written by a random person on the internet and a review written by a user on the site who consistently gets a lot of upvotes, which review would you trust more?</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>This closed question would have fitted into a blog nicely: <a href="https://3dprinting.stackexchange.com/questions/4279/what-is-3d-printing">What Is 3D Printing?</a></p>\n\n<hr>\n\n<h3>Concerns</h3>\n\n<p>So, yes, I think it would be worth starting one up and seeing how it goes... although I would be a little concerned about the regularity of posts: </p>\n\n<blockquote>\n  <p><strong>Plan a schedule</strong>. Given the results of steps #2 and #3, think about a rough idea of a schedule for the blog. Will there be one post a week, posted Mondays? Will there be posts on Tuesdays and posts on Fridays? You don’t need to be pushing out posts daily, but you should post at least once a week.</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p><em>and</em></p>\n\n<blockquote>\n  <p><strong>Pick a posting schedule and stick to it</strong>. It is easier to simply keep up from the get go than catch up if you fall behind.  Have a couple draft posts stashed away for a rainy day, ready to go that can be published if there is a lull.</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>Also, who would coordinate it? Are you putting yourself forward?</p>\n\n<blockquote>\n  <p><strong>Have someone holding the reins</strong>. This person doesn’t need to be the one writing all the posts, just someone that helps coordinate who is writing what and when it is getting posted.</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<hr>\n\n<p>However, it <em>is</em> a bit of a misfortune that Blog Overflow has a rather unfortunately acronym (as well as sounding like <em>Bog</em> Overflow).</p>\n'}, {'answer_id': 238, 'author': 'Tom van der Zanden', 'author_id': 26, 'author_profile': 'https://3dprinting.meta.stackexchange.com/users/26', 'pm_score': 2, 'selected': False, 'text': '<p>The description of blogs you\'ve cited is 6 years old.
