Features
What Lively Blogs does
Blog feeds on any page
Embed visually rich blog streams on Confluence pages, space homepages, or company dashboards — list or grid view, filtered by space, label, or author.
Layouts & customizable elements
Pick list or grid layouts and toggle what each feed entry shows — author, date, labels, likes, comments, and more — so every stream matches your brand and what readers need.
Pin important updates
Mark posts as important and keep leadership messages, HR announcements, and release notes pinned at the top — where everyone sees them first.
Personal feeds & bookmarks
Let users follow the spaces, labels, and authors they care about in a personal My Feed — and save posts to Read Later when something looks interesting but it is not the right moment.
Homepage & dashboard feeds
Add a company-wide news stream to the Confluence homepage or dashboard panel — one place where employees check what is new.
Image & video teasers
Add teaser images or videos to every post so feeds look polished and scannable. Get reminders when a post is missing a teaser before it goes live.
Who it's for
Built for these teams
Internal communications
Centralize company news in one customized feed instead of scattering updates across spaces that nobody checks.
HR & People teams
Share policy updates, onboarding news, and culture stories with pinned posts that reach distributed teams reliably.
Marketing & leadership
Publish campaign launches, strategic updates, and release notes with teasers that drive attention — not scroll-past fatigue.
Department publishers
Let engineering, sales, and operations teams contribute to a shared news channel without giving up their own space identity.
Culture teams
Celebrate wins, spotlight teams, and build community with blog posts that look as good as they read.
Readers at scale
Lots of teams and spaces? My Feed lets each user subscribe to the authors, labels, and spaces they actually need.
Lively Blogs by Lively Apps turns Confluence into the place teams actually read — embed feeds where people work, pin what matters, and make internal news feel alive.
How it works
The gap between posting updates and getting them read
Teams publish in Confluence blogs, but plain lists hide important news. Updates blend together, teaser images get skipped, and employees stop checking — especially across time zones.
Lively Blogs closes that gap. Configure a feed once, pin what matters, and give every post the visual polish it needs to earn attention.

From scattered posts to a news hub
Configure your feed
Add the Lively Blogs macro or homepage feed, choose layout and filters, and decide which spaces or labels contribute to the stream.
Publish with teasers
Teams write Confluence blog posts as usual — with image or video teasers, custom layouts, and an important label when updates cannot wait.
Employees stay in the loop
Readers browse a customized feed on the homepage, dashboard, or any embedded page — and engage with likes and comments without leaving Confluence.
