Depends on your aims. @Kaxil "... for it to be meaningful to serve any purpose." is quite loaded, and *any* seems a bit exaggerated.
There is value in being the go-to content aggregator, and therefore initials stop, even if whole of content lives elsewhere. That is different from trying to keep people onsite (or to be the content source/owner/publisher), which is another valid aim. Unclear of difference when it comes to search result rankings (not sure that this would be considered a copy site, for instance) -- if that is one thing trying to optimize for. A more fundamental question would be what is trying to get accomplished through the use of the blogs section. That would help determine what practices/guidelines should be in place for it. Ex: * Drive traffic through search (therefore need to figure out optimizing that) * Be the known go-to source (as a user I know that lots of worthwhile/interesting things are linked to somewhere from the airflow site and blog sections). * Be sticky: keep people onsite longer. * Etc On Fri, Jan 3, 2020 at 7:26 PM Chandu Kavar <ccka...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I like the idea of tagging for external blog posts.
