Adding a blog to Community Blogs

How does one include a blog into blogs.osm.org list? I'd like to see there both Russian blogs, for example. --Zverik 10:51, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, I did. --Zverik 12:37, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

Merge/Move request

I agree insofar as most content from "News, Events, ..." should be on OSM Blogs nstead, with Feeds linking to OSM Blogs. Beyond that, I don't see why the two pages should be merged or moved to "Social Media". A RSS feed for GPS track uploads is neither "media" nor particularly "social", and it doesn't have much to do with a blog either ... IMO. --Tordanik 19:07, 18 August 2011 (BST)

Suggest edit protection for autoconfirmed users

Given the history of spam edits, I suggest to block edits by not autoconfirmed users. --Tigerfell  (Let's talk) 00:25, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

Can confirm that this page appears to be a spam magnet, so I wouldn't be opposed to protecting it. --Tordanik 18:11, 8 February 2019 (UTC)

Not sure if this is the proper way of requesting it, but I'll try. @Admins Please semi-protect. Thx.

Resolved: This edit request was answered.

Semiprotected indefinitely. – Minh Nguyễn ^💬 09:48, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

New layout with boxes

Hi! Because this page is quite prominent due to its link in left main menu, I think it should have a layout that emphasizes this top level, so it doesn't look like an usual article page. In addition, the current list layout is hard (not quick) to read, IMO. Here is my proposal of a layout with boxes. What do you think? --Chris2map (talk) 20:04, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

For me, the current version is better. Yours doesn't fit on one screen and takes up a lot of space - I have to scroll through the page, and it's just as much information. maro21 22:01, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for review! I think "space" is needed on this! I made a slight alternative: Layout with table in box (more compact). How is that? --Chris2map (talk) 07:24, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

Better than your previous one. But I just appreciate simplicity, so I prefer the current look :). Wait for others' opinion :). maro21 14:48, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

Remove Twitter link?

Should there still be a Twitter (X) link? It doesn't look like @osmblogs has been updates since 2015. --Lostmonkey (talk) 21:32, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
