Every project can have a blog for updates, announcements, behind-the-scenes writing, and anything else. Blog posts are separate from items -- free-form writing, not releases. |

## Creating a Blog Post |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
1. Go to your project dashboard |
| 8 |
2. Click "New Blog Post" |
| 9 |
3. Enter a title and write your content in Markdown |
| 10 |
4. Choose to publish immediately or schedule for later |
| 11 |
|

Blog posts support full Markdown: headings, lists, links, images, code blocks, and inline formatting. |

## Scheduling |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Set a future publish date and time. Scheduled posts are not visible until their publish time arrives (checked every 60 seconds). Edit or reschedule from the dashboard at any time before publication. |

## Discussion Threads |

|

When you publish a blog post, Multithreaded (the integrated forum) automatically creates a linked discussion thread at the bottom of the post. |

## The Changelog |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
The platform changelog at `/changelog` uses the same blog system. Your project blogs live at `/p/your-project/blog`. |

## RSS |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Blog posts are included in your project's blog RSS feed at `/p/your-project/blog/rss`, separate from the item RSS feed at `/p/your-project/rss`. |
