They don't load for any for me, are you sure the multisite is on?
Either way, there is a cron job called "XFA - Blogs - Customized subdomains" that runs hourly. If the person just registered run that manually, as the key for his subdomain might not have been generated. The subdomain is most of the times the username but since there are restriction for the url it is normalized against non-ascii characters.

I turned it off but I'll turn it back on.

You'll see that they work but if you look at a noob who joined such as:

http://www.8thos.com/members/callipygean.1578/
http://callipygean.8thos.com

Her blog is a 404 error.

But a chick who joined around the same day blog works even though she has no blog.

http://dandi.8thos.com

Pretty much all noobs blogs are 404 errors. Why did that one chick's blog work out of all the noobs??

K it's on.

Now take a look, you'll see that they work but if you look at a noob who joined such as:

Her blog is a 404 error.

Could you run that scheduled task and try again ?
 
Alright so I see the problem. If I click on a noobs blog it does not show up. I get a 404 error.

After running the cron however, their blog then appears but only right after I had tried viewing their page.

Why does it do that? *tries out this theory* http://pillowpantz.8thos.com/

Nope I did what I did last time and it's still getting a 404 error. This cron is behaving very randomly

Pillow Pants? :) That is an awesome name.

Anyway, I found the bug. There is a race condition. The blog does not get created until it is hit at least once, and the multisite does not hit the blog if it has not been created.

I opened
http://www.8thos.com/blog/pillowpantz.1554/
And sure enough, the subdomain was opening
http://pillowpantz.8thos.com/

I'll get this bug fixed for you, I was testing the 1.0.11 release on my site anyway. Give me a couple of days to build the package.

In the meantime, you can use the workaround. I just open the member page and substitute "members" for "blog", this hits the blog page once and enables the subdomain

Oh wow it works now and I didn't have to hit the cron when I did that to another noob. All this time I thought it was server-related.
 
Can you please include blog entry view counts? I just realized there are no view counts!!!

And view count and blog comments number in the blog index for each blog.

For example:

views and comments.webp

Timely! One of my best blog users just asked the exact same question around 60minutes prior to your post :)
Yes, please.
 
New features
  • Sitemap for MultiBlogs: If you are using the Sitemap AddOn 1.2.5 or newer, the blogs will create a sitemap per user, instead of a single sitemap with all the entries. With this, you can track in Google WebMaster Tools the sitemap in an independent way. This fix was also needed because Google will not take urls in the sitemap that do not belong to the domain the sitemap is hosted
  • Download the blog ! Check it out at the demo site: http://xfaddons.com/index.php?xfa-blog-home/ on a blog you own.

    Please note, the blog download requires the zip extension. Check your php.ini, if the zip extension is not there, the option will not even be available

  • Preliminary support for Views. The blog now tracks how many times it has been viewed (the entries, too). All the views are registered, so in the future it will be possible to add a "Who viewed this entry" panel

Bug fixes
  • For MultiBlogs, new users could not start a blog since it was never created in the first place and was returning a 404 Not Found
  • Finally fixed a race condition in which if a user wrote an entry before the blog exists, the blog would remain empty until a second entry was written
