Okay. I have come back... the Prodigal Daughter... Hoping to be welcomed back with the extended hands of ILites with great hearts... But I am beseiged by a volley of doubts dealt by my ignoramus mind.

What is the difference between Blogs and Middles? I can understand the difference between middles and short stories... But as far as I know all blogsites treat all our posts as blogs- whether it is a story, a general issue or a personal rambling.

Now... IL is very particular about forums, I know.... and I would like to conform to the existing norms...
So clear my doubts in the comment section of this blog.
What am I expected to post as Blogs?
What happens to my Middles ( my personal ramblings ) ?
Why the word limit for Blogs? How can you express something close to your heart in 200 to 500 words?
I love to ramble with my thoughts and words... So will I be punished for this?

I need help here... before I start Write Here in full steam.

Hello Twinsmom,

Welcome back! We are sure you were missed by IL'ites for your wonderful ramblings. They should be looking forward to read more from you :)

Regarding your questions about blogs, middles and forum postings...

Ideally, blogs are the same as middles - they can be your personal ramblings, snippets, articles, etc. Blogs are basically collections of your own writings, the model being one writer to many readers.

Forums are basically for posting discussions, engaging in conversations, sharing information and asking/responding to queries on various topics. They basically operate in the model of many to many, all can post in a message thread in a forum.

Once you start to blog (requesting blog entry access) here in the blogging section, your middles can be posted in the blogs. Before we started blogs, we asked members to post their middles and articles in 'Snippets of Life' and 'Articles' forum. If you are going to be regularly writing middles and articles, it is good to have them in your own blogspace in IL.

There is no word limit on Blogs. You can blog to your hearts content to best express your thoughts and feelings. The 500 words limit is for featuring your blog in the main page, which will have a 'more' link clicking on which the entire blog can be viewed.

No punishments in IL for rambling with your thoughts and words...it will only be appreciations and applause. So, get started!

Hello Mithila Kannan,

Blog entry access is separated from registering and having forum access. To those who are interested in having a separate blog space in IL, we have asked them to request for access either private messaging 'induslady' or emailing 'induslady@indusladies.com'.

Now, that you have mentioned your interest here, we will provide you with the access and let you know by email.

Happy Blogging soon at IndusLadies!

Dear Induslady
Is there a way to edit a comment posted in response to a blog?
I made a couple of typo errors and wanted to correct it.. but couldn't figure out how to do it.. I assume an edit button is not available.

What's to be done?

Regards
Honeybee

Hi Honeybee,

Editing a blog comment is available only to administrator/ moderators of the site.

While a blog entry can be edited by a blogger themself.

You may want to private message to our moderator Vandhana / Induslady quoting whichever comment you want us to edit for the typo and we can do it for you.
