Individual blogging

Drupal provides basic blogging features out of the box. These base feature can be augmented and enhanced by the other CMS features and most of the modules available for Drupal. Blog entries are treated as generic content types with the key difference that they are each attributed to a given user account. Just like other content types, CCK and VIEWS can be used to extend the data fields available for each blog post.

Best Practices

It is not prudent to allow generic account holders to create and maintain content on a branded website. As such, generic account holders should not have blogs as there is a real risk that the content they publish will be based on individual opinions that the company does not significantly influence or dictate.

As a standard procedure, blogging is and will only be enabled for only those roles that require certain qualifications, training and liability. This ensures that blog entries will not compromise the integrity of the website's content theme, tone, and message
