This page tells you how to link to a blog post. You can also read about including blog posts on your page.
You need to edit in 'Wiki Markup' mode to create a link to a blog post.

(i) _You need to know the title of the blog post as well as the date on which it was created._
# Convert the date into the format: year/month/day.
# You can now create a link to the blog post, like this:
|| What you need to type || What you will get ||
| {nomarkup}[/2007/06/25/Sample Blog Post]{nomarkup} | [/2007/06/25/Sample Blog Post] |
where:
'*/2007/06/25*' is the date the blog post was published.
'*Sample Blog Post*' is the title of the blog post.

Examples of Use
You have three options:
1. Directly providing the URL (absolute path)
| No Format |
|---|
[http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/2007/06/25/Sample+Blog+Post] |
http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/2007/06/25/Sample+Blog+Post
2. Including the alias as well
| No Format |
|---|
[my blog|http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/2007/06/25/Sample+Blog+Post] |
my blog
3. Using the relative path (on the same server)
Note: You must provide the entire path to the blog post.
| No Format |
|---|
[my blog|DOC:2007/06/25/Sample Blog Post] |
my blog
You can also link to a whole day's blog posts, just by leaving out the blog post's title at the end of the link.
| No Format |
|---|
[my blog|DOC:2007/06/25] |
my blog
| Info |
|---|
| title | You must create the blog post first |
|---|
|
Linking to a blog post that has not been created yet will not result in a link. Blog posts are very tightly bound to the time at which they were created, so it makes no sense to link to them before they exist. |
Linking to a List of Blog Posts
To link to a list of blog posts within a given space,
| Panel |
|---|
| borderColor | #ccc |
|---|
| bgColor | #D5EFFF |
|---|
| titleBGColor | #F7D6C1 |
|---|
| borderStyle | dashed |
|---|
|
 You need to know the key of the space.
What you need to type | What you will get |
|---|
[blog posts|http://myConfluenceURL/pages/viewrecentblogposts.action?key=ABC] | blog posts
|
Where:
'myConfluenceURL' is the URL address of your Confluence system, e.g. 'confluence.mycompany.com'.
'ABC' is the key of the relevant space. |
| Tip |
|---|
| title | Try the Blog Posts macro for an in-page display of blog posts |
|---|
|
If you'd rather show a dynamic list of blog posts on your page, instead of a link to the blog posts, try the Blog Posts macro. |
