Following a blog
Follow a blog to stay informed about activity in the blog.
About this task
When you follow a blog, you receive notifications about the latest updates to the blog. Following is similar to getting a feed from this blog, but the notifications are delivered to the Notifications section of your home page, rather than to an external feed reader. Anyone can follow a public blog. You can also follow community blogs without being a community member if the community is publicly accessible.
Note: When
you are already following a community, you do not need to follow its
blog separately; updates about the community blog are automatically
included when you follow the parent community.
