This isn't exactly a feature request - I wanted to have the module create a block even if the user hadn't given his blog a title, for design consistency. Thought I'd share with others who might be interested, and suggest that something like this be incorporated into future versions...

It's a simple modification to bloginfo_block():

function bloginfo_block($op = 'list', $delta = 0) {
  if ($op == 'list') {
    $blocks[0]['info'] = t('Blog information');
    return $blocks;
  }
  else if ($op == 'view') {
    if (arg(0) == 'node' && is_numeric(arg(1))) $node = node_load(arg(1));
    if (((arg(0) == 'blog' &&  is_numeric(arg(1))) || $node->type == 'blog')) {
      if (arg(0) == 'blog') $authorid = arg(1);
      else if ($node->type == 'blog') $authorid = $node->uid;
      $count = db_result(db_query("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM {bloginfo} WHERE uid = %d", $authorid));
      if ($count == 1) {
        $results = db_query("SELECT title, description, format FROM {bloginfo} WHERE uid = %d", $authorid);
        $bloginfo = db_fetch_object($results);
        $block['subject'] = check_plain($bloginfo->title);
        $block['content'] = theme('bloginfo_block', $bloginfo->description, $bloginfo->format, $authorid);
        return $block;
      }
	  else {
		$block['subject'] = t("@blogname's blog", array('@blogname' => $node->name));
		$block['content'] = ' ';
		return $block;
	  }
    }
  }
}

Obviously you can put something into the content element if you want, I just wanted that blank for my users.

Version: 5.x-2.4 » 6.x-1.x-dev

No new features in D5 version so moving it forward for later consideration. Fell free to rerole the code snippet against 6.x-1.x-dev or even better give a patch.

Anyone using this module in need of this?
