Manage Blog Members

This feature is in SamePage 3.5. The blog functionality in SamePage is now enhanced to allow multiple users to post to one blog. The blog owner can assign permissions to other users. Based on their permission level, user can either post directly to the blog or just submit posts for review. This feature is very useful in cases where 'Team' blogging is necessary.

For more information on permissions for blogs, see Manage Blog Members
