- Yes, you can put links, pictures, blogs and videos on your support group web pages.

- If you are posting a blog or article that is already on the web, you will need to create a link back to the original article to give the author credit. If you need help with that, let us know.
- You are encouraged to add links to your group’s Facebook and other social media sites.
