Blog: a blog for every user
The blog module allows every registered user to maintain an individual online weblog (commonly known as a blog), often referred to as an online journal or diary. Blogs are made up of individual posts that are time stamped and are typically viewed by date as you would a diary. Blogs often contain links to webpages users have read and/or agree/disagree with.
Note that the blog module is not necessary for a "single-user" blog, that is a site that only has one individual blogging (the most common situation.) Blog module is used to create "multi-user" blog sites, where many different blogs, owned by different users are all running on one site. If you would like more information on creating a single-user blog, here is a Single User Blog recipe to get you started.
The blog module adds a blogs navigation link to the main navigation menu (the link must be enabled), which takes any visitor to a page that displays the most recent blog entries from all the users on the site. The navigation menu has a create content link (which takes you to a page with a link to a submission form) and a my blog link (which displays your blog entries as other people will see them). The blog module also creates a recent blog posts block that can be enabled.
Drupal also provides an RSS 2.0 feed for each blog.
You can
- read your blog via your user profile at my account.
- post a blog at create content >> blog entry.
- administer blog at administer >> settings >> content types >> blog entry.
- administer blog api at administer >> settings >> blogapi.
- enable the "recent blog posts" block at administer >> blocks to show the 10 most recent blog posts.
How can I edit the default blog front page?
How can I edit the default blog front page? I am happy with the defualt for the most part for now, but just want to show teasers on the main page view, or at least trim the number of body words shown for each blog on that page. Was sure this would be simple sticksm i.e. an actual option somewhere but cant find it for buggery.

Good Question
I'm wondering the same thing. I may have an idea, but not sure how to flesh it out. The naming system in Drupal 5 was such that you could make module-specific templates for blocks (http://drupal.org/node/104319). For example "block-user-0.tpl.php". I'm sure that the "www.example.com/blog" page is printing out a block or view with a specific name. Maybe "block-blog.tpl.php" or "views-view--recent_blogs.tpl.php"?
1 - I'm not sure the naming system Drupal 6 uses. 2 - Not sure what name "/blog" page utilizes to print out the block or view (or if it does at all).
I may be bringing up more questions that I am answers, but hopefully someone can help us figure it out. I agree... there should be an easy way to access the "/blog" page itself, and not just the block or view it is printing out.

I'm in process of making blog
I'm in process of making blog summary page in my drupal installation, and was also wondering about main blog page showing me blogs. I could imagine it to be as like wordpress' main page with blogs and pages. But still can't figure out how to achieve that. Also found - http://drupal.org/node/47419
Hope Views module would be helpful.
Thank you in advance
Single user blog
The Single User Blog recipe sucks. It's misses many things that you'd usually expect or want from even basic blog software. How about changing the Blog module so that the user can choose to operate it in single blog or multiple blog mode?
finally
I'm so happy to finally have this functionality available, so I can increase user participation on my hosting sites. I need to know more about what people need to make my site better, anyway. Much love to the development community! Thx!
