Wondering if a particular topic is acceptable/follows guidelines for blog content?
-
I’ve been wanting to start a blog, at first didn’t want to make a big deal of it, but after getting feedback from some people closest to me, I’m actually looking forward to hopefully doing it. :)
My question is: Is against any of the guidelines, policies, etc. to write in your blog about personal experiences, or life events, in some fashion or another, if it includes past substance abuse issues, and also the road to recovery? I’ve seen blogs or websites, here and there, about this same topic, or something similar, but most of them seem pretty old, and I know that some blogging sites have different content policies than others. So, wanted to know what the content policies had to say about this particular topic, before I start on this blogging adventure…
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

That will not be problematic. Please read https://en.support.wordpress.com/user-guidelines/

Okay, thank you very much. I wasn’t sure if such topics or subjects fell under the “illegal content and conduct” section”.

I should’ve added this to my last response, but did’t think about it until after I’d posted it. Buuut… Just out of curiosity, why does content like what I’m referring to not fall under the “illegal content and conduct” section? Is that section strictly referring to people wanting to buy/sell/offer, or promote/encourage illegal content or illegal activities?

Last question (promise!)… I assume that once the blog does contain content relating to substance abuse, recovery, etc… I should mark it as having mature content? I read somewhere that people who have mature content in their blogs should mark it as such. I assume this qualifies under that sort of content?
