FAQ How to manage your blog.

How to manage your blog

Once you have created your blog, you can manage your posts by following these steps.

If you have not yet posted in the blog you have created, you may not see this appear in the cancer blog section just yet.

You can find your blog in the following ways:

  • Bookmark your blog. Once you are on your blog homepage, you can select the ‘Bookmark this blog’ button. The button will be under the ‘options’ section on your blog page.
