[Moodle] Blogging issue

Sat Nov 17 16:55:06 EST 2007

The setting to change is in the moodle site admin area .. add the following
to your moodle address to go to the right page.
     /admin/settings.php?section=sitepolicies

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