I have added a field to Profile (profile_blog_name) that allows each user to name or rename his own blog.  I have also hacked drupal_set_title() at  blog>blog-pages.inc  to use that new field content as the title that appears on the blog page.

I then assembled a view that contains all active Profile blog-names--that is, a directory of all user blogs on the site.  Now I'd like to add a link for each blog to that page.  I think the easiest way would be to add a hidden field to Profiles and automatically render it as a link at the time of user registration.  So, when someone registers and becomes $uid #125, the field is automatically completed as $base_path/blog/125 or perhaps it would need to be <a=href ....>link</a>.  If I can get the value into Profiles, I assume I should be able to include it as a Views field and that it should propagate through the blog page just like other fields.

I'm just an old classicist trying to implement this for my students--not a programmer. Can someone please tell me whether this will work--and how to programatically generate the link in Profiles?

Many thanks in advance,
