In most cases, the blog will include posts from all students in the course or in a group. Some instructors may set the blog to be individual, viewable only to you and the instructor. If you are unsure, ask your instructor if you can’t see posts by other students and feel you should be able to. To interact with the posts and comments in a course blog:

1. Click on the blog link in the course. The right window lists the posts and comments. Click on any of them.
2. You can use this list to find the post you want to edit or delete
3. Click on the Edit or Delete link at the bottom of the post.
   a. If editing, make changes and then click Save changes at the bottom.

   Note: you should not delete posts during the semester unless they were made in error (e.g. double post or an incomplete post).
