Blogs have been upgraded with the following features:
* Blog Customization - users may customize their blogs in the same manner that they can customize their user profiles.
* Group Blogs - users may allow other users to post to their blog.
* Sidebar Blocks - users may create custom blocks to display in their sidebar. These blocks can be rearranged by drag and drop.
* Custom Pages - users may create custom pages to be displayed in their blog.
* Tags - tag support has been included.
* Private Entries - users may set specific entries to be private while leaving their blog open.

In addition, you now have the ability to deny access to your blog from the outside. There are 3 levels: Everyone, Members, Friends. So, you can set your blog to be viewable by anyone and everyone who visits the site (even Google) or you can limit it to ONLY registered members of the site, or you can limit it to just the members on your friends list.

In a week or so, I am going to be changing the global permissions setting to allow all users (even unregistered guests) to view the blogs, so it will be up to YOU to limit access to your blog how you see fit.

Thank you.

The Google-searchable option could be good for traffic.

Is the visibility setting (everyone/members/friends) blog-wide, or can it be applied on a post-by-post basis?

Cynthetiq

unlike before which was a blog wide solution, this is post by bost.

Hawt. Even if it's post by bost.

Cynthetiq

from what I can tell it's either, OPEN to the community, or CONTACTS (friends) I really don't know why they chose different words for it.

You can select it for each entry.

Is there any way to export these blogs like we could our journals?

I don't see a simple ready way just yet, but I'm still monkeying around with all the new features. I will keep an eye out for something that does this function.
