I know it was asked a time or two, so I decided to have a crack at streamlining the vBulletin Blog add-on. Below are the changes that I made that are basically in alignment with the rest of the style. Depending on requests from my team, this may be expanded on. This allows for simple viewing of the recent blog entries (blog home), individual blogger entry list, blog content and comments, and quick comment submission.
