h2. Posting to a Timeline
{styleclass: Class=topLink}[top|#top]{styleclass}
The Timeline feed allows you to post comments or updates on a user's timeline, much like the way you would post in a discussion group. You will always be able to post to your own feed, and you will be able to post to a user's feed you have connected to. To post to a user's feed that you aren't connected to their timeline will need to be defined as *Public* in their [user settings|settings].

h3. Creating a Post
The first item on a timeline is an empty comment box, which allows you to start a comment thread. To post:
# Navigate to the timeline you wish to post on by either:
## Clicking on your name to access your own timeline
## Locating another user through your timeline or connections and clicking on their name
# Type your comment in the comment box at the start of the timeline
