Thanks for the info.  The personal blog is what I don't understand.  It'd be really nice to be able to pick a child as the personal blog so it would show on the page.  What I would really like to do is just have a list of all blogs on the home page, and when you click on a child blog, it takes you to the child page and only shows the child blog.  From what I am seeing so far, that's not available right now.

You can only have one root blog per portal, right?  I don't get that.  Why not the ability to have more than one for just this reason?  My biggest problem is making sure that the IT folx don't post to the Accounting blog, and the Clinical people don't post to the Compliance blog.  Right now, there's no way to do this.  The only way I can give the admin's and regional managers access to write entries is to lump them ALL into one group, and give the group access to the module that allows them to write entries.

Can we make suggestions to the people in charge of the modules?

Here's what I recommend you do.

• Create a BlogEditor role. Add the IT account and the Accounting account to this role.
• Log on as IT and create a blog, log on as Accounting and create a blog.
• Create 2 pages, one called IT Blog and one called Accounting Blog.
• Insert the Blog module on both.
• Modify the blog modules on these pages to allow editing by BlogEditor accounts.
• Logged on as Admin, modify the Blog Module Settings and make them "PersonalBlogPages"
• On the main page insert the Blog module and leave it as is.

What you now will have is:

• On the main page you'll see all blog entries.
• On the IT Blog page you'll see only the IT blog entries.
• On the Accounting Blog Page you'll see only the Accounting Blog entries.
• IT and Accounting can only post to their respective blogs.

Note that there are no child blogs in my example. Child blogs are really just categories for now.

Thanks for the lucid advice, mwilli20.

It is that kind of stepwise instruction that really helps out.
