The Better Blog XenForo forum add-on was installed last night. This will allow members of the network with student permissions (set by website administrators) to view and create blog entries.

Purpose: GE Academy students are to 'journal' their experiences while in the academy.

Requirements: Student blogs should not be public. Teachers should be able to monitor blogs.

Styling: Link to blogs component is not in the main menu.

Testing: Here is my testing blog
