I am not sure, but I think you might need to go to Administration --> configuration --> Variables and tweak the blog settings there. More here - http://docs.moodle.org/en/Blog_preferences
Maybe the screen capture below will help.

A journal is private, by nature... Each student publishes and sees it's own, teacher sees and grades any.
Try Wiki or Blog and group management to share.
I have been trying to figure this feature out! So, from what I'm learning is that if I open up a Journal assignment, each student can post to the journal and only that student and myself will be able to see it?
Can I comment in their journals? I'm hoping this feature will replace my interactive journals- one less notebook to carry around is always nice.
I am unfamiliar with "online text assignment"- that is not something I see in thepull-down assignments menu.
Let me see if I'm understanding you correctly:
The journal is basically ONE post, that is simply continually updated within the single text box. So, in order to see entries over time, the student would have to diligently date each entry right? This way, it's more work for the student, but easier for me because I wouldn't have to create 30+ individual forums correct?
Thank you for your assistance.
