About the Blog

vBulletin Blog is a fully featured blogging add-on that enables community members to create their very own online blogs within vBulletin. Giving members a place to post thoughts, ideas and musings will keep users returning to the community again and again, and advanced administration features allow forum owners and moderators to keep control and integrate Blog into vBulletin’s existing look and feel.

vBulletin Blog makes it simple for community members to create their own space within the community. Getting started is as simple as posting the first message (using the same familiar vBulletin editor). There is no lengthy setup process - blog owners are free to personalise their blog at any time by defining a title and a description that will appear at the top of every blog post.

• See the Blog in action on the vBulletin.com community forums

vBulletin 3.6.8 or newer is required to install the Blog. vBulletin 3.7.0 requires Blog version 1.0.3 or higher.

Templates with Mandatory Changes Since Blog 1.0.4

A mandatory change indicates that functionality will be explicitly broken if you do not apply this template change. This could be as small as a broken image or as significant as data loss. Always make sure these changes are applied as soon as possible.

Remember, you only need to manually apply changes to templates that you have explicitly customized. Use the "Find Updated Templates" option and cross reference with this list (if you are upgrading from Blog 1.0.4). We recommend reverting your customized templates and recustomizing them to guarantee you have all the necessary changes.

The following templates were modified to add the security token. If you customized any of these templates when you upgraded to 3.6.10/3.7.0 RC4, the security token was added to the template as required. However, you should still double check your customized versions, if they are listed as out-of-date.
