I've seen this as a popular feature on a lot of forums, but there is legit like only one add-on that can provide us with user blogs (baka lazy XenForo).
Is this a feature that you awesome people would be interested in?
It's in public view right now because I forgot to turn off the perms while we figured out what to exactly allow and not allow lol sorry about that. I'll work on it tonight bud.
Mbxx went the free route and went for articles instead; this is a full blown blogging system with spaces, communities, self-blogs, categorical blogs, and much, much more!
There is a reporting feature on top of a ratings and approval system; it would be easy to send bad bloggers to the shadow realm if staff deems them incapable of behaving appropriately.
