First, I like the simplicity. I just wanted a way for a user to manage a blog that was separate from the main site content. This fit that requirement very well.
The problem is that it is unfinished. Options such as removal of the "Add Blog" button on the frontend don't exist so you have to edit the code. Also the assigning of a menu item for "Single Blog" does not work. The listing says the extension has module(s) but they are not on the download page. However, the most annoying thing is that there is no option to sort blogs "Newest to Oldest". Most people would want a blog to display the newest content first so this is a pretty big oversight.

This is a good component, great to have the interface with twitter and comments.
Could be more, with some css styling, module option and the ability to disable front end bloging or limit to registered users.

Nice idea, but this product seems to be unfinished.
1. After adding Blog Categories they do not show up on the category list when Adding New Blog (from Admin back-end)
2. On the front-end when adding New Blog there is no drop down list to select a Blog (but rather text field to type the category name), which makes no sense (nobody would remember several categories, and how to type in exact Category Name).
