I have a blog on one of my sites, with aliases on each post.

If I understand Global Redirect properly, it should convert domain/blog/# into domain/alias.

It does work with node/# but not blog/#

Since the module has not configuration options, I assume this is a bug.

This isn't a bug - its a misconception about how Drupal works.

The blog module provides a content type. As with all content types, blog is an extension of "node". This is why, when you view your blog entry, it still reads "node/1234" and yet it is still a blog node. To get nice blog-like URL's I advice using the Path Auto module and set that up to automatically create an alias for your blog entries. My website where I keep my blog uses path-auto with the following settings:

blog/[dd]-[mm]-[yyyy]/[title]

The Blog module also provides a menu callback which links itself to "blog/[uid]". You can either leave it like that, or create an alias for "blog/1" to map to "blog/my-very-own-blog".

I hope this clears things up. This is definitely not a bug with Global Redirect.
