BEFORE you begin blogging at WA, I want to urge you to please read the rules first. It is not a long list nor does it not take a long time to read. Click where the link is located at the bottom to access the rules for WA blogs. I have highlighted it in yellow on the screen.

I have never seen the Blue Post Button. I get to the Write A Blog by clicking on the pencil in the question bar at the top of the page.

Meanwhile, thanking you for the content. What is an example of political or religious post?

Hi Rotimi!

That is a good question. An example of a political or religious post is one in which you express your viewpoints on politics or religion. WA is a very diverse community and we need to respect the beliefs of everyone.

That being said, on your external sites, it is fine to express your political and religious beliefs.

I hope that helps.

Hey Steph thank you for creating this very helpful course reminding us of the rule WA blogging rules. My favorite, and one I see that needs to be followed is "stay on topic" lots of fluff being posted instead of helpful content. I think it is because people are still learning and did not realize that WA blog may not be the place for unrelated content. Thanks for informing.
