Is a public front end blog possible?

Postby barryhynd » March 31st, 2011, 4:50 pm

I've been working with s2 member for a few weeks trying to get a new venture off the ground. It's been going really well but i've came across an issue that seems a bit unusual. The site is www.startupscotland.co.uk

Ideally what I wanted was to have a blog/news section on the front public end that people could access without registering etc. My reasoning for this is that people will expect certain content to be free and I thought this was the best way to achieve it.

I have the blog showing on the public front end but when you click on the test post it brings up a user access issue. Does this basically mean that anyone who wants to access full content (irrespective of me making it free) needs to be a registered member? Is there any way of me being able to blog etc from this site and people being able to access all the content etc?

Hopefully I am explaining all this ok :)

Hi Barry.

You can certainly have content that's publicly available without requiring registration or login.

Take a look at these two videos to understand access restriction better and see if that helps you sort out what you're having trouble with at the moment. :)
