Personal Blogs #24

The Personal blog cannot be moved from the centre of the front page. This makes sites look untidy. It also means that you cannot add a link to the personal blog using the moodle menu. If you hide the blog then it is hidden to all users except the admin, thus making a link to it dead.

You could add a global blog in a side block but from an aesthetic point of view it's not ideal.

I don't see any easy way around this (without re-coding the whole way personal blogs expects to work currently with a course module instance).

Can I suggest a hack you could implement if you really needed?

In lib.php oublog_cm_info_dynamic() could be updated to set $cm->uservisible = false for the personal blog only. This would hide the activity. It sort of screws up the breadcrumb tail in the blogs and might have some other unintended side-effects; but that is the only thing I could think of to stop it showing on that front page.
