Creating an internal Blog
Asked by teusner:

Hi,

I am struggling to get a Blog to work as I need it to work. I have set up a news space, haven given anonymous acces to that space, created blog posts and set the accessiblity to everyone.

Additionally I created a public link to that blog space.

But whenever I open the link from external ( i.e. my private Computer) I get to see this:

![2024-01-12 12_12_37-EKB Blog Home und 3 weitere Seiten - Profil 1 ? Microsoft? Edge.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/300306i4E8FE2ADE7A2B142/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "2024-01-12 12_12_37-EKB Blog Home und 3 weitere Seiten - Profil 1 ? Microsoft? Edge.png")

Which says something like "I dont have the rights, to the see that content". If I use the same public link on my work station, where I also have an Atlassian Acount, I get the following message:

![2024-01-12 12_15_22-EKB Blog Home und 5 weitere Seiten - Gesch?ftlich ? Microsoft? Edge.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/300307iC1B504D5BC68CCF1/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "2024-01-12 12_15_22-EKB Blog Home und 5 weitere Seiten - Gesch?ftlich ? Microsoft? Edge.png")

Confluence is a really nice tool, but it is a hard pain in the ass when it comes to specifics and details. It is quite unintuitive to achieve a simple thing like a public blog.

I hope somebody can help me.

Yours

David

this might be a silly question but have you also checked the global permissions in the confluence administration section?

Best,

yes, since I have another Confluence space, that is public. Either through a direct link or a public link. Only the Blog posts are not visible.

body: Good..it is easier to leave one space in Confluence completely open to the public, and then keep your blog posts on that.

If this is what you have done by now, then you would need to turn on anonymous access for the entire space, here is more information on anonymous view

[Share a space externally with anonymous access \| Confluence Cloud \| Atlassian Support](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/make-a-space-public/)

The final step: lock any other pages within the space that do not need to be public.

This is a lot of work, so if you do not want an entire space to be public and you don't want to have to restrict pages one at a time, then your other solution would be an add-on.

The best approach is to make one space exclusively for blogposts, and then don't open up any of the other spaces. Otherwise, it's really a lot of work for you.

I hope that helps, but let me know if you have any questions about it.
