Ok... I think I finally get how the blogs module works!  Yay!  One thing I'm having trouble with...

I would like to have several blogs (each person who wants one can have one) and have the list look like the DNN site.  I can create the first blog from the Blog List item.  It gives me a Create Blog option.  But once the blog is created (for person number one who wants a blog), that option goes away and all I'm allowed to do is add blog entries to that blog.  How do I create another blog for the blog list for a new person?  How do I get more than one blog to show up in the search drop down list?  I apologize if this is a stupid question!  i just can't seem to figure this out.

Thank you for your help!  I'm on DNN 4.0.2.

EDIT:  I just found this...

The blogs module (unless it's recently being updated) only supports a single blog PER User. There's specific logic in the procedures which will only load a single blog per user. I think the way around this is to create blogs logged in as different users. I'm not sure how the core handled this on the mothership site since all the leads have a blog but it might be a child blog and not individual blogs for each user.

So do I just need the individual users create their own blogs and they will all show up in the list?

Is this really the default behavior of the Blogs Module?  It seems pretty short-sighted since most web sites have a single person or a very small number of people who are able to have such privileges on their web site. 

I too want to set-up the blogs module to appear something like what the DNN site has done for a school web site, but am at a loss on how to do it without perhaps modifying the database directly.  Ugh!

Have you found a solution or work-around to this?

[EDIT] I am using DNN 4.3.5 and BLogs Module 3.02.00[/EDIT]

yes, you do have a single blog per user, but you can add child blogs under that user.

FYI: The main blog developer has not been available for some time due to personal reasons, so the module hasn't been updated in some time. A number of fixes have been checked in, i plan to release a build (when I get time from other core tasks), and then solicit new blog team members and start releasing regular updates - one of the larger items we will look at is altering the model to support multiple blogs per user.
