Blog Guide
How to create a blog, write posts with photos, organize them, share a public link, and invite another user to edit with you.
What the Blog Program Does
The blog brings together stories and photos by topic. Each topic is a blog — for example "Trip to Greece" or "Tour of a Factory in China". Within each blog, you write posts, and each post contains a story and photos. You can share the blog via a public link and invite another user to edit it with you.

- Only the owner can
- delete the blog, move it to another blog, and manage who it is shared with.
- Remove access
- Click ✕ next to the email and confirm.
The user sees only the blog shared with them - not your other blogs. The email must exactly match the email they use to log in.
Tips for working with the blog
- One post per day or location - easier to find and sort.
- Give every image a name; this is what appears below it on the public page.
- Created a post by mistake instead of an image? Merge it by dragging it onto the correct post.
- On your phone, take photos directly from the camera; cropping and compression are done automatically.
- Before sending a link, click the Share icon again to update the page.
Frequently asked questions about the blog

Click the post in the list, then click "Take photo" or "Add photo to post" in the "Photos" card. "+ Add post" creates a new post.
How do I change the order of posts?
Drag a post to the top or bottom edge of another post until a blue line appears. The order is saved immediately.
How do I merge two posts?
Drag a post to the middle of another post until a green border appears, then confirm. The story and photos are moved, and the dragged post is deleted.
How do I share a blog with someone who does not have system access?

How do I let another user edit the blog?
In the blog strip, enter the email they use to sign in under "Share with:" and click "+ Add".
