Can I start a blog?

Ideas on Europe was created by UACES, a charitable membership-based organisation. After offering it for free for over 10 years, we have taken the decision to include it in our membership as a benefit for our members, enabling UACES to maintain the multisite blog to a high standard. You can find all the different membership types here.

Does Ideas on Europe support multiple authors?

Yes, Ideas on Europe supports guest authors. This enables you to attribute posts to different authors and to add author profiles to your blog. On each post, authors’ names are displayed with the option to add a bio and a photo. Guest authors do not need to be members of UACES as long as their contribution is occasionally. Therefore, they also will not have their own profile page. You can find more on this in our Site Policy.

We also support blogs run by a group. They can be registered and regular authors if they are UACES members, guest authors with occasional contributions or a mix of both.

How frequently should I post on my blog?

We would recommend that you post at least once every two months. If you want to build up an audience for your blog it’s a good idea to post regularly. If you feel that it will be difficult to post this frequently, it might be worth considering approaching other individuals to contribute to or join your blog. Focusing your blog around a certain topic or area of interest can make it easier to attract other individuals to contribute.

I already run a blog on another hosting platform, can I import my existing blog to Ideas on Europe?

Yes, if you run a blog hosted on either Blogger or WordPress it is very easy to import your existing blog’s content into Ideas on Europe. If you’re not sure how to do this we can provide help to transfer your site. Importing content from blogging platforms other than Blogger and WordPress is more tricky, but we will certainly investigate this if you let us know which platform you’d like to transfer content from. Another option is to add blog posts to both, your previous blog and Ideas on Europe. Crossposting is an option that we support.
