Digital Tidy Up of Glow Blogs #
Glow Blogs are essential for sharing information from school websites to learning profiles, often containing a lot of media. Regularly tidying up and checking the relevance of content throughout the year is recommended. Removing old images and videos, or deleting unused Glow Blogs, can free up space and ensure the service runs smoothly. Managing membership of your Glow Blog ensures that everyone has the necessary permissions and that no unauthorised users can access or share information.

Planned Glow Blogs Housekeeping Exercise #
There are currently many Glow Blogs that haven’t been used or updated for some time. To improve performance, we will conduct a housekeeping exercise before the end of the year to remove old and unused Glow Blogs. This will only affect blogs with no users and no recent updates. These blogs will be archived first, allowing people to check if they are still needed. More details and dates for the Glow Blogs Housekeeping will be shared soon.
