What is the Blogs module and its key functionalities?
The Blogs module allows you to feature your own written content or import blog content for our extensive external blog library in a newsfeed format across your virtual career center. You can use the Blogs module to feature news, tips, advice, industry articles, spotlights, and much more.
Here are the highlights of the Blogs Module:
Access to our external blog library that contains over +3,500 articles from over +15 content providers, such as The Muse, Idealist, WayUp, jobZology, CareerShift, and more. Each external blog is already prewritten and preformatted for convenience so all you have to do is import, tag and publish!
For any blog that you publish you’ll have access to an advanced visual editor that will allow you to add visually compelling and accessible content into your blogs as well. You can also pre-schedule your blog posts in advance to save you time and set custom expiration dates for blogs that may become irrelevant after a certain time.
Lastly, you can encourage campus partners and other stakeholders to contribute their own blog posts for review through the guest contributor portal, which is a great way to scale your efforts around content creation and increase collaboration and partnerships.
