I tried overriding my blog title (for a specific user blog). So instead of the blog being titled "username's.blog" I added a string override to make it the "person's name's blog". It did not take effect however. The string appears to be wrapped in a t() in the Blog module file.

Any suggestions? I cleared my cache, etc.

t("@name's blog", array('@name' => $account->name))

@name's blog

Out of scope for String Overrides for contextual settings (it would really hurt performance).

I'm having the same issue and couldn't understand Rob's posting... does "Out of scope" mean that String Overrides can not access the blog name? I.e. Using string overrides is not the proper way to rename a blog?

If you use "@name's blog" for the override, you'll override the blog title of everyone's blog in blog.module. Having this on a per-user basis is out of scope for this module as it would require more then just putting in that override. You might want to look into other solutions like Content Profile (so that a user can specify attributes for their own blog) and Views (to provide a page listing of the user's blog posts).
