You can select the "View Archives" link at the bottom of the blogs module to see posts from the all members on the network. You can also see a specific person's blog by viewing their profile page, where — if they have published blog posts — you will see their posts listed.

Click on the post you would like to edit, and edit away!
You can subscribe to a specific blog. Locate the person's page on the network and find their blog in the middle column. Click the RSS button at the bottom left of their blog.
You get to decide who can view your blog posts: just you, just your friends, or everyone (the default setting). To change this setting, click the "My Settings" link in the box on the right column of the page. Click "Privacy" and click the circle next to who you want to read your blog.
By default, your blog posts are set to allow anyone who can read them to comment on them. You can change this option and limit who can comment on posts to only your friends — or only you. You can also decide if you want to approve comments before they are posted or all comments to posted immediately. These options are listed under the "Privacy" link under your "My Settings" as well.
Finally, each time you write a blog post, you can override your settings to further expand or restrict Click "Report an Issue," which appears as a link at the bottom of every page in a network. This will alert the me to the issue.
