As most of you know, redoing the blogs feature has been on my TODO for a long time. I originally created the original blogging feature for Cubits. Back in mid 2011, I copied my blog feature from Cubits over to ATP and made some various small changes to make it work here at ATP, and believe it or not, that was the very last time I changed it!
The format of the blogs control panel was ancient and quite incompatible with the way we do things here at ATP. The biggest difference is that we rely on bbcodes instead of HTML, so it's long been my desire to simplify the blog feature and make it act just like the Ideas and forums. So that's what I've done.
The newly updated blog system now only supports bbcode for new entries. It's super easy now, exactly as easy as posting a thread or idea.
You can also edit old entries, but be aware that if your old entry has extensive HTML, it will be very difficult to edit. Ideally, you'd just leave the old entries alone. They will always display properly as they are.
If anyone has any trouble with the updated blogs system, please let me know.
