Hi there! First request here.

I have an idea for the extension "BlogPage", which would allow for better management, viewing and styling of blogs and blog posts with this extension.

Fist off, the traditional Blog layout:

-Usually, Blogs allows multiple authors to write multiple blog entries, which are then qued up and posted to a "Main" page for users to view. Example: http://www.jellyneo.net - There, Blog posts are made and lined up one after the other in order of publication, and then "cut off" after a certain number of blog post and pushed back to another page. You can view the blog post directly by clicking the "Comments" link, which bring you to a page dedicated to both the blog post and it's comments.

While the above is somewhat covered in the page "Special:ArticleLists", it doesn't simply does not present the blog in a "Proper" blog format. It would be nice if a "Magic Word" or something along those lines could allow the the blog to be posted to any page.

Second of all, Post layout:

-It would be nice if there could be a general CSS/HTML "Template" file for modifying the appearance of blog post. Like a Mediawiki theme, for instance, you can specify where each portion of the blog post goes like a Mediawiki skin, with labels like "title", "author" and so forth. That way, you can be in full control of how the the blog post itself looks.

I can further explain these concepts with visual representations if needed.
