I'm experimenting with the Blog module in 4.3.3 (first time using it) on localhost, installed using VWD over IIS/ASP2.0 on SQL2005 Express.
I created two users called Blog1 and Blog2. I created a page called All Blogs and loaded the blog module. Then (via constant logging in and out as various users) I created a single root blog for user Blog1 and user Blog2. I also created entries for each.
So far so good. Then... (possibly foolishly) I created 2 new pages called Blog1_blog and Blog2_blog (with a view to these being specific to each blogger) and loaded the blog module onto those pages.
Here it gets weird - the above process, duplicated the blogID 16 times. Here is a query run against the Blog_blogs table for user ID 4 (Blog2):

As you can see, the first entry (at 2:47) created the original blog, and when I created the new page, 15 more blogIDs were created.
The system also methodically created duplicate entries for all of the blog entries I have created.
Did I go horribly wrong somewhere? All I wanted was a master page of all blogs, and then dedicated pages for each blogger that only show their blog entries. I now seem to have to go through and delete all of these blog entries and blogs.
