Continuing the discussion from [EmonTx4 DS18B20 Temperature sensing & firmware release 1.5.7](https://community.openenergymonitor.org/t/emontx4-ds18b20-temperature-sensing-firmware-release-1-5-7/23496/11):

I suppose the term ‘Blog’ covers a multitude of sins.

How about a ‘Blog’ category for important posts such as above, release announcements, key firmware updates, key HW updates and any other sort of announcement.

Admin only allowed to post.

To use create a post, lock it immediately and create a linked post for comments on the main post in the relevant category/topic. Probably pin posts as well.

- Stops this sort of OT discussion 🙂
- Allows for announcements to be maintained in chronological order
- Should be easy to find posts subsequently

If it’s _ **News** _, that’s fair enough. If it’s **Documentation** , then it must go into ‘Docs’.
