Is there a way to have more than one blog per site? 

I have a site that I have a blog on 1 page.  I need to create a second page with blog.  The people that has access to the second page cant see posts to the first blog and the people that have access to the first page cant see the blog entries on the second page. 

Currently when I add a blog to the second page it automatically shows the entries from the first page and when I add entries to the second blog people on the first page can see those entries. Is there away to create 2 seperate blogs?  If not is there a product that may accomplish this task?

Hi Brady,

You can achieve this by making use of the personal blog option in Module Options.  There's more info here which may help you achieve what you have described with the blog module.

HTH,

Don

Hi Brady,

there's also another strategy that could make the trick for you. Instead of creating a new page with a blog module for each personal blog, you could just create only one called "Our Blogs" or "All Recent Entries", and then having a couple of sub-pages pointing to each personal blog. The sub-pages don't need to be real pages, but only links to the URL that is used by the blog list to filter a single blog's entries, like this:

http://www.mydomain.com/Blogs/tabid/.../BlogID/.../Default.aspx

The same strategy applies to child blogs, giving the ability to filter posts by categroy. In any case you should turn the blog list visible only to administrators (there's no need to delete it), since the navigation between blogs and category is now handled through the menu.

Best regards,
Dario Rossa

That's a great workaround Dario!  I've heard you describe it before but it clicked for me this morning.
