I see something that I would consider to be an issue. When viewing recent blogs on your demo site, there is a button to "be the first to comment" and so I clicked it. It then tells me that I need to be logged in to do that and provides a login button.

My concern though is that I am not a registered member and nowhere does this invote me to Register only Login. :)

I guess I could add a "or Sign Up" at the end

Do you mean reverting to the old home page look? That is not possible without template edits. I just updated the homepage to the new one that you are seeing now :) Several people complained that the other one was too simple an uninteresting

I still have the old homepage look. There is no option for me to select from different homepage formats.

I do NOT have this on my options page:

If you could have an overlay that included the registration option, that would be the winner. At the moment the overlay gives no option at all to register if not a member. Just thinking of it from the standpoint of if I were to buy this and a guest was driven to the site by a blog. :)
 
I can not make the default style. Two styles in one forum - it's too much Chekbox "Default Style" does not work.

Could you reply with your site's URL or send it to me through a conversation?, I would like to take a look
The option should be there, and should allow you to change the style that the forum uses

That style would apply for the entire Blog, though, not just for the homepage

Could you also include a screenshot of your blog options?
 
Thanks for the update rigel! The main blog index looks much nicer. It would be cool if the colours used would be the same as the style. For some reason it does not fetch those from the default style. If a website has an orange style then the blue bars look a little odd. :)

Please consider to add an option to load more blog entries on the blog index. For example with a lazy loader like most blogs have.
 
Alright so I'm doing a test blog import from vBulletin. It's asking for the blog attachments directory. I can't find it, I think I'm storing it in the database. Can I proceed without it, or do I need to move the files to it's own directory? Anyone know if it'd be the same directory or a subdirectory of normal attachments?
 
It's my day off so I'm going to install this and test it out since I'm having waaaay more issues with XI Blogs. Had to rate the other blog one star.

Blog attachments are a separate thing in vBulletin, they have their own directory. vBulletin has an option to move the attachments to the filesystem. The import only supports reading attachments from the FS. If it's possible to you, in the vBulletin installation, move the attachments to a directory.

You could provide a dummy attachment directory, but attachments would not be imported.

New and exciting changes in this version of Better Blogs.
This is the first version featuring Privacy enhancements for entries.

I have made my best to make sure that once an entry is made private, the member cannot view it either through Alert, Search, News Feed, Snippet in the Member Info, The Home Page, the Blog, or directly ...

That said, please do test it first and let me know if you find any issues.

New Features
  • New option to block members from leaving comments in a single entry. Use this with "Edit" to stop people from commenting or right away when you create the
  • New privacy options! You can know select whether an ENTRY can be viewed by everyone, members, followers, nobody, or a specific list of users

  • New section: All Blogs. Lists all blogs created by members.

  • New RSS: Global RSS. In addition to the author's blog RSS, there is now a global RSS for entries

Changes
  • The Blog Home is no longer cached, and instead of only showing "public" entries it now follows privacy permissions
  • Blogs Home and Blogs List have now a quick link for creating an entry

Bug fixes
  • News feed checks privacy settings, and does not display a blog that you could not access
  • Fixed an invalid duplicate id on the HTML of the privacy preferences for the blog
  • Alert for tagged users and likes on comments now links directly to the comment instead of just the entry
  • In the news feed, the comment now shows a snippet
  • Fixed a bug in which you could see comments from a private blog in the News Feed
  • The blog title was not showing on the home page
 
Holy ship...

*deletes old review*

*will write a new one later after testing this stuff out*
