| Oct 19, 2015 at 6:15 | comment | added | AJ Henderson Mod | As far as the conversion of blog posts to self-answered questions. That might be an ideal way to also draw further attention to the blog. There is no reason we couldn't double post content on the blog and a self-answered question with links back and forth. The blog would be an easy way for people to find all the content prepared to that level and the self-answered questions would let it be discover-able and added to by the community. I think the one exception would be any blog topics that do not fit the Q/A format well. | |

Perhaps self-answered questions where the answer summarizes the main points in the blog and refers to the blog post, as a way to drive traffic to the blog and help people discover other content there? I hate to give up on the blog entirely. | |

| Oct 16, 2015 at 6:54 | comment | added | MikeW | Yes, we have some good equipment reviews and in-depth how-to articles. It's not very obvious that we have a blog - perhaps adding a list of articles to the main site somewhere so it's more discoverable. | |
| Oct 16, 2015 at 5:53 | comment | added | AJ Henderson Mod | The main advantage I could see with the blog would be to encourage discussion on more artistic and opinion oriented concepts that don't fit within the general Q/A scope of the site, but are none-the-less key to the art of photography. Not everything about photography can easily be summed up in question and answer form and the blog is a good way to provide content that wouldn't otherwise fit. The challenge would be finding topics to put up. We could perhaps have a meta post for ideas and let people offer to step forward and help write articles. | |
| Oct 15, 2015 at 12:40 | comment | added | mattdm | Followup question: what do you think about Should we migrate posts from the blog to be self-answered questions? | |

| Oct 14, 2015 at 18:32 | comment | added | null | I didn't know there's a blog. Is it even linked from the main site? | |
