Introducing Blog (Spaces) on OddsRabbit!
What are blog spaces?
Blog spaces are part of the new Spaces concept on OddsRabbit.
Blogs are a personal editorial space meant for long-form content and inspired by platforms like LiveJournal, Blogger, and WordPress.
How are blog spaces different?
Like all spaces on OddsRabbit, the goal is to keep the core experience the same while designing and tweaking for intention.
Blogs are a personal editorial space for you.
UI/UX
On the blog community feed, posts will show the full body and will sort by New by default - with Trending removed.
Estimated read time
Blogs include an estimated read time on every post.
Post navigation
A new post navigation UI below every post.
Newsletter and notification updates
Below every blog post, readers will have an option to be notified via email and push whenever you release a new post.
Author bylines
Your author byline in the community.
How do I create a blog on OddsRabbit?
During community creation, select Blog as the type of space you're building. If your community is already live, you can change the type of space it is in your community settings.

Shoutout to @Insomniac_80 for the suggestion
So this is very cool 😎
I didn't think for minute when you first mentioned this idea, or when I first saw Community/Blog/Gallery option in the settings. I presumed 'blog' meant a blog-like appearance, sort-of, kind-of...but not an actual blog.
So this is an actual blog. Like I said, very cool.
Need to see which of my blogspots I'll move here...or maybe just start a new one.
Anyway. Looks brilliant Jing! 🤩
Thank you! You're the resident blog expert here haha, let me know if there's anything I'm missing or how the blog feature can be shaped!
Would love to hear your thoughts
btw, as 'resident blog expert' I feel that should at least get me another heart or rabbit or something beside my name? 😅
Inviting my thoughts could be a dangerous thing — just look what’s happened without my being invited 😛
I’m going to use the new blog, and I share my thoughts from that, and try to avoid comparison thoughts to other blog sites - both ones I have used, and those I currently use. For each sites has its own positives, and niche offerings… as does the OddsRabbit blog space.
This will be a really good thing! I’m looking forward to both changing an existing community or two into blogs, as well as to creating a new blog space.
Well, as a writer, I LOVE THIS!
I shall be partaking...now what to call my blog.......
Thanks for always coming with new ideas to make OR better and implementing them.
I know I've been MIA for a few weeks, but my enthusiasm for this place remains.
