User Blogs

Every user on Skillnote has their own blog page. All publicly shared posts are collected in one place on the author’s blog page.


Visiting a Blog

There are two ways to access another user’s blog:

  • From a post: Click the author’s name or avatar displayed in the post body or in the “Info” tab of the comment sidebar.
  • From the Explore page: Click the author’s name on a post card.
  • Direct URL: Type skillnote.ai/{usertag} directly into your browser’s address bar.
