# CentOS blog platform

We initially deployed what was supposed to be a temporary blogging platform to keep community aware of the CentOS 7 build status but it was then extended to community members and finally was renamed to blog.centos.org.

It's available at [https://blog.centos.org](https://blog.centos.org) and it's just a simple [Wordpress](https://wordpress.org/) instance, that we keep up2date when needed.

To keep it simple, we try to rely only on wordpress 'core' and just deploy some needed plugins, like :
|
|
|

|
|
|

* openid : needed to let users log in through our [authentication platform](/infra/authentication/)
|
|
|
2e03d1 |
* classic-editor : request from Community Manager to let people edit easily drafts/posts
|
|
|
2e03d1 |
* akismet : classic one that is used against spammers

## Authentication

As said above, to be able to write a draft (that will be reviewed and then published), one has first to login with its ACO/FAS account.
|
|
|

The default permission though is 'subscriber' meaning that it's not sufficient to even write a draft.
|
|
|

Once logged in, a contributor has to ask a wordpress admin (using the Community Manager) to be elevated to 'Contributor' or 'Author' (other rights like 'Editor' or 'Administrator' are really reserved for some other members)
