Is anyone working on extending the blogging module so it becomes a bit more feature rich personalizing-wise?

When I say that I mean:

  • Ability to make them really work like personal blogs: adding a pic (not one for each post) & pretty urls (en mass per many users without manual intervention with the path mod)
  • Ability to let users add their own blocks such as hand crafted links of rss feed info

    I know I can hack this stuff in, but it freaks me out to think of upgrading thereafter.

    Look at pathauto.

    There are some other modules that might help in there. Rather than modifiy blog module, you can extend it with additional contrib modules. Look at profile for how it ties in to the user module. In fact, perhaps you can create some fields in profile module, then in the phptemplate for the blogs page, display a formated output of the profile module on the blog/UID page.
