I want several folks to have their own blog on my site.

Each person will have a blog page just for them.

I set up the blog module on the page for the first person.  Everything looked great.  Recent entries, archive calendar, search, search by tag or category, awesome!  I created a blog and said this blog module was for this blog.

Then I set up a NEW blog module on the second page and created a blog.  I said this new blog was for the 2nd page in the new blog module.

However, on the second page, I noticed that the recent entries, archive calendar, search by tag and category are all showing data from tthe first blog.

In effect, they appear to be for "all" blogs, not just for a specific blog.

I like that capability, don't get me wrong.  But if a user has gone to a specific commentator's page, they are there to read that blog and no other!

Is there a way to limit these search components to just one blog?

I looked thru the various stored procedures and it quickly became clear the module cannot do this.
Most of the procedures are only receiving PortalID as a parameter.
Clearly, if that's the only parameter they receive, they can't filter by blog.

In addition, my understanding of the basic dnn module architecture philosophy is that each module is supposed to be able to be set up multiple times on a portal.  Each use of the module is either supposed to be a functionally separate one or a pointer to an already existing module setup.  With the stored proc procedures only passing PortalID instead of PortalID and the ID for the module setup, the blog module does not follow those guidelines. 

It seems like it would be a fairly straightforward task for an experienced DNN module developer to add BlogID and the module setup id as parameters to the module setup and to the stored procedures.  If the setup parameters were null, return everything, which would mimic the current functionality.
