Roadmap

Drupal 6

It should be noted that similar results can be achieved using http://drupal.org/project/views_customfield and http://drupal.org/project/content_profile. Using Views and Content Profile has proven to be a more stable route as well as a more flexible one.

Drupal 7

With the power of Views 3 and profile fields (or Profile 2), you can easily duplicate the functionality of this module with greater flexibility. Given that this module mostly managed the manipulation of a few displays, your upgrade path should be the building of new Views and the migration of blog descriptions.

Drupal 8

The Blog module was removed from Drupal 8 core. The flexibility of Views and entities pretty much replaces the need for this module entirely.

Thanks

Thank you to the maintainers and contributors of the past blog modules.
