I don't know if this would be considered a blog or an enhanced profile, but I found this and thought it was the coolest.  I have been trying to find a way to do this.   Click on a profile and see what this does http://www.scrapbook.com/forums/

Any feedback from people who have used either of these?

I just started testing out the blogs from the link above. I like it, even though there are a few things I would personally like to have in a different way. My biggest complaint is that from what I can tell the blogs are not linked to a user's profile. I think it would be much better to have the blogs listed in the profile - a simple link would do the trick. Unless there is something that I am missing, it seems as though the only way to access someone's blog is to go to the blogs tab and then go through the list of blogs. :(

EDIT: Another complaint is that I can't seem to figure out how to give the forum moderator's permission to lock/delete blogs! That means that only the admin can do this, which might be too much for one person to handle on a large forum. :(

EDIT #2 At the bottom of my forum in the 'info center" the 5 most recent blog posts are displayed. There doesn't seem to be a way to edit this in the admin panel. :(

Haha, overall, I still like what I have seen so far though. ;)

If you have tinyportal, I could make a link to felblog in a block code, along with other profile links.

I don't have tinyportal, and I'd really like to avoid using it if possible.

Haha, that's assuming that your last post was for me. ::) :P

Yeah no it is possible, but could you specify where exactly you want the link to be?

Hmm, I think below "My Interests" is a suitable location for the felblog link/s.

EDIT: Maybe it would also be good to have a link to one's blog's admin where the other profile links such as "Account Related Setting," "Forum Profile Information" already exist.

Haha, and I don't mean to split hairs, but since those links will not be shown when you view any profile that is not your own, I think it would be better to have them at the top of the page, rather than below. So maybe right below "Home..Help...Search..."

Maybe this is something JovanT can consider, so I'll post it in the ulitimate profiles thread. ;)
