OU blog
This is an alternative blog that you can install into standard Moodle.
It does not replace the standard blog, and operates alongside it. There are two modes of use:
1) As a course activity. In this case you can use it the same way as any other module. You can have course-wide blogs (everyone in the course posts to the same blog), group blogs, or individual blogs; the latter are useful for assessed activities (where the student is supposed to keep a journal which only they and their tutor can read).
2) As a replacement for standard Moodle personal blogs. In this case it would be a good idea to turn off the standard Moodle blog system, or it'll bevery confusing. You then need to MANUALLY provide students with a link to mod/oublog/view.php which will automatically take them to their personal blog.
When using for personal blogs, one feature of interest may be moderated public comments; when you allow comments from people who are not logged in, all such comments are moderated.
Please note: This plugin is no longer supported in Moodle Tracker. All support requests should be via the GitHub repository issue tracker (https://github.com/moodleou/moodle-mod_oublog).

Screenshots
I would like to report a bug we encountered with mod_oublog on Moodle 2.9.3. If pictures are uploaded via drag-and-drop into a blog post they are visible as long as I'm in edit mode. If I save my blogpost, pictures are no longer visible. When pictures are added via file-picker everything works fine.
As drag-and-drop is a really useful functionality when including pictures in a blog, we would really appreciate if you could fix this bug.
Best,
Antonia

At some point I will get around to updating the plugin version here (hopefully this week - though I have been meaning to do this for several months!)
I set up a private blog but anyone registered in this course can view it, there is no option to change this setting, it is locked
Is there a plan to update to 3.1?
Cheers
Stephen
