Hello Folks!
Spring is here, and the Blog Module is out of Hybernation. It's alive and well.
As the project description states, Blog applications are gaining more popularity and have become the medium of choice for the dissemintation and sharing of information. Blogs and Blog services are popping up everywhere.
That said, here at DotNetNuke, we have realized that the Blog Module needed a *bump* in order to get the innovative and creative juices flowing once again.
The (very) short term plan is to get a release out as soon possible. This release will contain the several bug fixes that have been reported by the community.
The long term plan (although we are still discussing the full extent of it) is to implement a slew of Social Networking and Web 2.0 features. I will post another blog entry soon to discuss what, how, and when to expect next.
I am super excited about this project and hope that you are too.
I hope you will Digg this post; oh wait, you cannot! - At least not yet! 
Stay tuned!

Glad to see some life come back into this critical (my opinion ) module.

Some social networking and web 2.0 feature would be extremely useful for my site and if you could get some kind of date to us asap that would be great. Keep up the good work.

Re: Blog Module: It's Alive!
I'd love to have some social networking features! First and foremost, I'd love to let my users have friends pages, a la LiveJournal.
OpenID would be swell, too...

Re: Blog Module: It's Alive!
Glad to see someone thinking about this. The web 2.0 features sound great, but first fix trackback functionality so it communicates with other blog platforms and add some ping functionality to help with SE placement. So get the basics of a blog in place and then add new features, but this is just my opinion.

What do you use for your blog, Rodney?

Re: Blog Module: It's Alive!
Bruce, agreed!
As I said, the first thing is to get a stabilization release out. Then Web 2.0 comes into play.
bangbangt-shirts, Rodney is using this same Blog Module and is using the widget from http://www.addthis.com/.
I too had done something similar, but instead of going the "Add this" route, I wrote my own. You can take a look here: http://www.cto20.com/Default.aspx?tabid=669
I will be integrating my widget in the Blog as well.
Rask, I believe OpenId is in the works, and probably CardSpace as well. Take a look at Joe Brinkman's blog for more information on this. However, this is something that will go in the Core and not this module.
Hope this helps!

Re: Blog Module: It's Alive!
What I'm looking for is a system that will allow me to have a number of independent blogs. Similar to http://mu.wordpress.org/.

Re: Blog Module: It's Alive!
How come you are able to add white space in your replies, Antonio?
When I try this on my blog, I just end up with visible 'br' html tags.
