First, I think you could use a Blog entry in the Components list up there.

I'm glad to see a blogging tool in 1.0b4. To me a blog is usually person-centric. So there are two features I'd really like to see:

1) a New Blog Entry function for a user's profile. Basically so I can add a blog entry that isn't attached to a Space and is just for me.

2) a "Recent Blog Entries" list on a user's profile page, just like "Recently Edited Pages". Or if not, at least include blog entries in the Recently Edited Pages list. They're not there now.
