Creating a public blog using Confluence

[avenroot]

I am wanting to set up a public blog for some of our employees to contribute to.  I have thought about using platforms like Ghost but before investing in all that can this be accomplished with Confluence?  So Employees can publish a blog for all the public to see.  Like you would find on Ghost, Blogger, Wordpress and such.  

Also, some blogs would be internal and other would be external to the public.  So we need both functionalities.

Thanks for any help or advice.

I wasn't able to get this working to what I had hoped.  I decided to try out Ghost.org.  I was able to give anonymous access but unable to keep people from looking around after they were in.  I spent a few hours on it.  I can't say the suggested answer is NOT an answer but I couldn't get it to work but it could be because of my lack of experience with Confluence.   Thank you for the suggestions though.

Hi @avenroot,

Have you looked into Anonymous Access for Confluence. 

If some blogs would be internal then users who have the create permission will need to restrict page access when they create a page, before they publish.

Let me know if I have misunderstood your requirements.

Thanks

I believe that answers my question.  I just want a couple employees to start blogging about our industry and I can put a link to those blogs on our main website.  

Thanks!

When you get it set up please post your link up here and I will read one of your public articles. 

Good luck :)
