Enabling / disabling blogs
Blogs in Moodle are enabled by default. They may be disabled by a site administrator in Settings > Site administration > Advanced features by setting the blog visibility to 'Disable blog system completely'.
My profile settings
Blog entries per page
In Settings > My profile > Blogs > Preferences you can set how many blog entries are displayed on a page. The default number of entries is 10.
Site administration settings
Blogs have additional settings which may be changed by an administrator in Settings > Site administration > Appearance > Blog.
Enable blog associations
Two new capabilities:
enable users to blog about their course or a particular activity. The Blog menu block provides context-sensitive links for adding an entry.
Blog visibility
This setting allows you to restrict the level to which user blogs can be viewed on this site. Note that they specify the maximum context of the VIEWER not the poster or the types of blog posts. Blogs can also be disabled completely if you don't want them at all.
Note: Sites upgrading to 2.0 which previously had blog visibility set to "Users can only see blogs for people who share a course" or "Users can only see blogs for people who share a group" will have blogs converted into blog-like format forums.
