Easy to install and set up, not sure what the others had an issue with, but looks great and works great. Thanks
Only thing to add is, would be nice to have a module to go with this.

Sorry chaps I have installed this Blog extension on my website and I have now spent about 4 hours trying to get it to work correctly.
Not having any instructions it is extremly difficult to configure, I have now sorted it all apart from the fact that you have to register to add a comment, then when you write the test comment and click the comment button you get the error message: 'Save not permitted'
I can not find anywhere where you can reconfigure this button. The Comment button should be for send not save. Would not advise anybody to waste there time with this extension.

I was going to use this for a personal blog site. It installed easily and seemed quite intuitive to set up, however when I dug a little deeper it seemed to be missing many features which are standard on the more popular blog components.
The showstopper for me was that when you add an image into a blog entry, it appears as {image} on the front pages. I couldn't find any way to rectify this, so went off to try to find a good contact to get help via the developers website and literally couldn't figure out who to talk to as it all seems to be geared up towards enquiring about their developing something for you. I'm afraid I'll be uninstalling this now, which is a shame as with a bit of development it could work well.

One of the biggest disadvantages are that you cant edit into blogs the meta descriptions and keywords.
Deploying this extension was a piece of cake. However lack of documentation sent me testing most options. I found that this Blog component may be useful for some, but I could not edit its's front end beyond Title, description and background colour. For example, I did not find the "That Reeks/Get Over It" amusing nor did I want facebook interface - but I could not find a way to remove them. Sorry guy, nice try.
