Join our growing Blogging Community of Practice

Since the launch of the community we have seen new members join every week, either by signing up for an event, joining the social space on Discord or joining the conversation via the hashtag #blogging4life. Most importantly, blogging is happening across our growing community. For Members who are active in our Discord social space we offer the option to include their blog in a shared blog post RSS feed and... there've been hundreds of new posts over the past six month. Members who are not on Discord can tag and share their posts on their own domain and networks using the hashtag #blogging4life.

We have a dedicated channel set up in our Discord Community Space. This is a friendly social space where everyone is welcome and which is free to join.
