But in a quick re-check of the blogs section i found that there is this page:
EntropiaForum - Blogs

It seems like it can only be reached by clicking the link composed of the total blogs number (which atm is 22), on the Blog Statistics box.

I can add a link in the Quick Links menu in the navbar, or anywhere else we decide would be suitable.

nice, stupid me was almost starting a thread to ask the difference between a blog and diary
luckely I stubled upon this will searching

[Acronoid]

I the diary section, it was possible to +rep people that contributed with their posts. Now, I can't find the +rep button in the blog section. Is this something that is forgotten to be added, impossible to implement, or specially done for some reason?

[Timbo Witters]

I personaly never saw a rep button in the blog section maybe it will be implanted in the future

Before I got reps from people when they liked my diary posts. Now they can actually write it in the replies - and personally I prefer that It is much funnier and personal that you can comment on each diary post!

Yes, thats a real improvement, but I still like to be able to +rep some good posts, just because they are soo good they should be rewarded

Not exactly on topic but I don't wanna open a new one just for this.

I'd like to see the number of views for each blog entry. (or is that already hidden somewhere and I just didn't find it yet?)

I would not mind that either. Also I wouldnt mind being able to see who is actually watching it - like the posts ...

Indeed, we lost all that functionality we got from the original diary.

The Blog rep thread has been merged with the original EF Blogs thread. Many of the questions and feature requests are answered in this original thread.

Many of the features requested, such as blog views, will be added to the EF blogs section. As for reputation, there is a rating tool for blogs, as well as a comment system. Other tools will be added as they become available.

Please read post #19 in this thread, especially this part where many of these issues have been addressed:

Actually, I have already seen a mod that allows even more user-level customizations than you describe. I will take a closer look at that one soon.
