# Blog blocks

Blocks make it easier to interact with blog posts made by either yourself or others. There are three blocks that work with blogs:

- **Blog menu:** Allows you to browse, search, and add blog posts
- **Blog tags:** Shows tags associated with various viewable blog posts - clicking on a tag will display all posts with that tag
- **Recent blog entries:** Displays posts from the past 24 hours for the relevant context e.g. a recent blog entries block on a course page will only show recent entries about that course

You can add these blocks to a course page using the same method as other [blocks](/19/docs/available-blocks).

Note: The **Blog block** is only available on course pages and not available on other pages such as dashboards.

Depending on where it is located the **Blog menu** block has a number of options

- **View all entries for this course:** When viewing the block on a course. This allows you to access all of the posts made by yourself and others about the current course.
- **View my entries about this course:** When viewing the block on a course. Allows you to access only posts made by you about the current course.
- **Add an entry about this course:** Allows you to add a new course post.
- **Blog entries:** Shows all of your blog posts.
- **Add a new entry:** Allows you to add a new personal blog entry.
- **Blog RSS feed:** Downloads an XML file for the RSS feed for all your blog posts.
- **Search:** You can search for any blog post made by any user that is viewable on the site.
