Linking to a Blog Post

To link to a blog post:

(info) You need to know the title of the blog post as well as the date on which it was created.

  1. Convert the date into the format: year/month/day.
  2. You can now create a link to the blog post, like this:

    What you need to type

    What you will get 

    [/2007/06/25/Sample Blog Post]

    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)
[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
[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.

[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.
[my blog|DOC:2007/06/25]

my blog

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:

(info) 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.

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.
