Uses Plugins Template Edits
 
No support by the author.

This will display the last 5 blogs on the home page blow the What's Going On box. See screenshot for example.

Installation is easy, just import the product and make the template edit.

Update 9/2/07: Removed the template edit from the What's going on box and added it below. With the table structure it makes more sense in this modification. If you have already installed it, apply the template edit again.

RSS_Instructions
This is an alternative method to the above that will display the last 10, this was taken from one of the admins over at vbulletin.com that originally wrote it for the latest threads and modified for this. It's display is not as clean but it will not show blogs that are hidden and I have yet to work that out for the above method.

I have changed the template edit to place the Latest Blog box below the what's going on box instead. Try applying the template edit again, be sure to note the new location in the instructions.

That's done the trick! In fact I might move it above the 'What's Going On' box, as it works well there too.

Glad it's working for you. Yeah, this way it can be placed above or below much easier. Please remember to click install if you use it.

I applied the new template edit and reimported the product, but now (for me) the "Views" and "Date" columns are missing information. Also, is there a way to put a border within the table and change the color of the table to one that matches the rest of the default style's colors?

I've just done very little modification to phrased the code. Thanks, it'a nice hack

Code:
<!-- Latest Blogs -->
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<thead>
	<tr>
		<td class="tcat" colspan="4">
			<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('latest_blogs')"><img id="collapseimg_latest_blogs" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat$vbcollapse[collapseimg_latest_blogs].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
      <a href="blog.php">$vbphrase[latestblogs]</a>
		</td>
	</tr>
</thead>
<tbody id="collapseobj_latest_blogs" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_latest_blogs]">
	<tr>
		<td class="thead">$vbphrase[author]</td>
		<td class="thead">$vbphrase[title]</td>
		<td class="thead">$vbphrase[views]</td>
		<td class="thead">$vbphrase[date]</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td class="smallfont"">$spitblogs_username</td>
		<td class="smallfont">$spitblogs_title</td>
		<td class="smallfont">$spitblogs_views</td>
		<td class="smallfont">$spitblogs_date</td>
  </tr>
</tbody>
</table>

Ericgtr, Any idea why I might be having this problem after reinstalling everything?

I have no idea why the views and dates aren't showing up as the code is in both the template and plugin, only the template needed updating. Try installing the plugin again and see if it doesn't change it for you.

That's because it uses the forumhome_start hook i'm not sure which hook initiates it for every page, you can try maybe global_start or global_complete but I can't be sure.
