You can link to blog posts in similar ways to how you link to pages. Only two methods are described on this page.

You can also use the Blog Posts macro to display a dynamic list of blog posts on your page.

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 Blog Post using Autocomplete

(info) You need to know the title of the blog post.

You can use autocomplete to create a link to any blog post in the Confluence site, if you know the name of the post you want to link to.

You can type [ to see a list of suggested links. For details, see Using Autocomplete.

Linking to a Blog Post using its URL

(info) You need to know the absolute path to the blog post.

To create a link to a blog post using the the 'Insert Link' dialog:

  1. While editing the page, place your cursor at the point where you want to create the link, or highlight the text that you want linked.
  2. Click Link in the toolbar, or press Ctrl+K. See keyboard shortcuts for more information.
  3. Click Web Link and enter or paste the absolute path to the blog post into the URL text box.
  4. Enter link text that will be displayed on the page if required. If you have not highlighted text in the page, and leave the 'Link Text' text box empty, the link will display the destination page name or URL.
  5. Click Insert.
