Hi Roland,

   We installed v1.8 and still can only have blogs seen by either the owner
or everyone on the site. No option to restrict to the course participants.
I will keep you up to date with any progress.

Thanks again

Kevork, I notice that you mentioned earlier that you were running version
1.6 .. I think the feature comes with version 1.8

Kevork, I think that the setting you are probably looking for is in the site
policies page.

     /admin/settings.php?section=sitepolicies 

Covers several options that allows you to restrict the level to which user
blogs can be viewed on the site. (restrict to same group, class etc)

I set ours to the option : "Users can only see blogs for people who share a 
course"

Regards Roland
