Give them a try, please report any bugs here. vBulletin's blog software is still in beta (test) mode we are working on bugs but some of them are out of our control.

Edited 13 May 2007 by Logos to add the following basic instructions:
If you have been a
member of the site for at least 30 days and have made at least 10 posts in the forums, or, you have been a
member less than 30 days but have made at least 50 posts in the forums, you can
Start Your Blog here:
http://www.online-literature.com/forums/blogs/
.
How to Start Your Blog:
Blog Settings: This is where you can create the Title for your blog and post a Description of it etc. Click the "Blogs link at the top of the Forum page.
Select "Modify Settings" from the pull-down menu.
If the white box has a green check mark in it, it is selected. If the white box is blank then that option is not selected. If you change or add any items in the "Modify Settings" page you must click the "Save Settings" button at the bottom of the page for them to take effect.
.
Customise your blog:
Click the "Blogs link at the top of the Forum page.
Select "Manage Blocks" from the pull-down menu.
That takes you to the page where you can select what items (Monthly Archive, Fav. TV Show, Recent Comments etc.) are displayed and where they are displayed on your blog (at the Top, in the Left or Right side columns, in the Centre, or at the Bottom).
Once you have created any of the above (a list of Favorite links for example) you can always click the Edit List link beside that item to change it.
If you change your mind about any of the above items at any time you can click its corresponding white box in the Disable column so that it doesn't show, or, you can click the white box beside Private to make it only visible to your Buddy List.
.
How to post your first blog entry:
Click the "Blogs link at the top of a forum page.
Select "Create New Entry" from the pull-down menu. The functionality is the same as when posting to the forums. You can insert images, change the size and colour of the font, and you can preview your entry before you submit it. You can always edit a specific entry later if you wish.
.
Blog Comments:
If you fall within the category of not qualifying for a blog yet, you can still post comments to other members' blogs, but your comment does not appear immediately: it enters a queue for moderators to post them.

Edited by Logos 30 November 2007 to add:
How to Subscribe to a specific blog entry: you might want to do this if you have commented on a blog entry and want to track that entry to see if there are any new comments and/or responses to your own comment; yes you can subscribe to your own blog entries too
To do this, click the "Entry Tools" link, top right, of the specific entry you commented on and select "Subscribe to This Entry". Then you can get (if you wish) instant (or daily or weekly updates) notification of any new comments to it.

To change or delete Entry Subscriptions, go into your User Control Panel (upper left corner of screen) and click on "Entry Subscriptions" (left-side menu).
