I have not tried this module but I have a question concerning theming of this. Will it theme? Right now the PHP temeplate detect the node type and sets the template accordingly. This works partially with blog now. But with the new container what template can be used? Carl McDade "B�������������������������������������" wrote:

severe update again, not yet committed. I need your opinion on this. PLease read on and comment. What I did now is make this a true "blog anything" system. Whyle the previous (above attached) patch changes the system drastically, it still only allows you to add items to your blog where you are the author! What I did now, is change the behaviour, so that you can blog anything you can see. If you read something, and its not yet in your blog, you can hit a "blog this" link, et voila, its in your blog. However, this might sound cool, but it comes dangerously close to a bookmark system. So i would like to know if this change is feaible according to you. If so, I will submit the changes, if not, I will keep them private.

Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/blog_7.patch (14.15 KB)
I rewrote blog.module to become a container, something like book outlines. In these files, there no longer is a blog type node. With a checkbox (see screenshot) users with the correct permissions can add any node to their blog. Feel free to try, also feel free to improve these files, just mail me if you commit changes. Please see my sandbox for a complete module and its files: http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/drupal/contributions/sandbox/ber/blog/
