Where does Blog site stands within the flat modern sites structure of SharePoint online?
I would recommend using Pages and added category tags. https://joannecklein.com/2018/07/11/tagging-modern-pages-in-sharepoint-online/ article may help with the options for metadata.
Thanks for your response. And I appreciate the suggestion. This is OK for sharing news, and you're right the SharePoint pages do include now more flexibility in attributing some metadata.
Still, I need other functionalities : e.g. giving comments (and No, the comments section at the end of a SharePoint news page do not fit because this only notifies the creator of the SP page. Other persons can't take an alert). Also, having a SharePoint list of Blog posts was easy to consult all blog posts. The SP news pages are mixed up with 'normal' pages within site contents.
Hi HildeDepauw, I think your use case would be common with people familiar to posting comments on blogs. Would https://sharepoint.handsontek.net/2018/08/13/receive-comment-notification-by-email-in-modern-sharepoint-pages/ solution using Flow work for you? It's a bit clunky but might be an option to have notifications sent to a controlled audience.
Alternatively the Yammer web part? I'm not familiar with the functionality and comments here seem to suggest its might be suitable for blog comments either.
