I'm pretty sure that the answer to this is no, but wanted to make sure before I have to go off and find another blogging sub domain to plug in, but there currently isn't a way for the link of the blog entry to be:

somedomain.com/name_of_blog/this-is-the-entry-title.aspx

or better yet with a date stamp of some sort as a directory?

The title, etc.. are key for both user friendly and search engine optimization, and I realize I can do this by using Friendly URLs, but if I need to teach the people using the blog to always put in a friendly URL and re-write the main links, I suppose I can just use Text/HTML instead, and it will actually be faster!

Just making sure I'm not nuts....  Thanks in advance for anyone who can desceamblemble my brain...

Hello All,

These are 2 great questions:

1. Blog-style title-to-URL
2. Blog Title in <title> tags

The answer to both is that the Blog module in its current state does not statisfy those requirements, however, I can safely say that they are planned for development in the next generation of the blog module. Although there is no target date for this we are well underway with the planning of this new project.

I hope this helps. 

Seth,

Thanks! -- I'll hit up the team and see where they are planning to go with the FriendlyURLs, but in general, I do agree with you that we need a more readable URL format.

:)
