The blog module is now not included in the Drupal core and can be downloaded from the module page:

https://www.drupal.org/project/blog

It is installed as well as all other modules. Drupal is a ready-made blog platform, you only need to enable the CKEditor module for more convenient editing. Enable it if it is not enabled.

Now you need to configure the CKEditor module, go to Menu - Configuration- Text formats and editors and click the settings for Plain Text.

drupal text format Let's choose to use CKEditor for this format.

plain text Plain text is intended for all types of users and it doesn’t display html tags by default, if you want to use text for your blog, it’s better to create another input format, for example Text with HTML.

We need to select Limit allowed HTML tags and correct faulty HTML that users cannot insert html tags that we do not need.

We do not need to choose Display any HTML as plain text, because the filter will be text format Plain text. All other filters you can choose at your discretion.All other filters you can choose at your discretion.

Another important point is the text formats are applied from top to bottom.if we are anonymous users, then we cannot use the Text with HTML, but an authorized user can, therefore, it is important for us that the authorized author has an text format for Text with HTML.
