Blogs

I went to begin implementing user blogs when I realised it's already there, just in a less accessible way.

Basically the only difference between a forum and a blog is that in a blog, you can read the post before you click the link to that post. A blog with comments is just a forum, in essence.

So all we have to do is tweak the search system to provide essentially what a blog would provide.

Now, if you go to your profile: memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=282 you can view your blog. It's just a different way of viewing your posts in the Development Blogs board basically. If you've ever added a development blog post to a game it will appear there, or you can make orphaned individual posts straight to the dev blogs board.

That way your "blog" content appears in a blogroll.

Any thoughts on how this could be done better?
 
Personally I already have several blogs I (loosely) maintain that totally aren't in my signature, nope never!

So it wasn't that I thought the system was bad it was just kinda redundant with blogger around.
