1. The blog

By becoming an ipernity member, you automatically have your own blog. You will finally be able to express your ideas, opinions, state of mind ... whatever you want.

The blog is also a stage for your documents: you can insert your photos and videos in your posts. Practice for your travel stories!

And as with your documents, you can share your posts with whom you want: your family, friends or everybody!

You can illustrate your posts with any document that you've uploaded to ipernity.
To do this, go to the article pages ("New post" or "Edit post").

Click on the "Insert a media" icon.

4. Share my posts with who I want

To share your posts, you must specify who you want to see your posts (friends, family or the world) and add the members of your network to the corresponding categories.

Mark your posts

You can choose the sharing options for posts at the time of writing, or by specifying default sharing options in Preferences / default sharing options (which applies to new posts).

If you don't check off any items under "private", the posts will only be visible to you.

You can set global sharing options for new posts that you upload in your default sharing options.

Select your loved ones

You can "mark" your family as Family, Friends (or Contacts, if you don't check either off) when you invite them or when you add members already registered on ipernity.

At any time you can change the sharing options of your posts and change member categories.
