I'll list some of the bugs or new additions to this blogging feature here. I didn't know this blogging script would be so buggy but it's okay, I think I fixed most of the bugs.

Before I start, I might mention the word "pagination" a few times. What's a pagination? It's this:

Bug Fixes

#1 - Double comment posting. This was reported by @Matsurika and @Smakemdown and it has been fixed.

#2 - Spacing and other CSS problems. This was reported by @NZPIEFACE - http://forum.novelupdates.com/threads/general-complaints-about-ui-of-blogs.35225/

#3 - The layout for http://forum.novelupdates.com/blogs/ (main blog page), http://forum.novelupdates.com/blogs/category/blog.1/ (category) and http://forum.novelupdates.com/blogs/author/tony.19/ (author) were messed up.

No, I didn't redesign the layout. For some reason, the developer messed up on their code which broke the layout. The after picture is how it's suppose to look like.

#4 - The pagination for a few pages including the main blog and category pages were broken when you tried to use the order sorting.

#5 - The most active bloggers bottom pagination was broken. This was reported by @Nom de Plume

#6 - The author page (http://forum.novelupdates.com/blogs/author/tony.19/) displayed a pagination even though it shouldn't if you don't have a certain number of blogs. This was reported by @OverlyFriendly and @Nom de Plume

#7 - "More blogs from user" is fixed. Reported by @sufod01

#8 - The new widget removed the links to "New Profile Posts". The links has been added back. Reported by @CDLevit - http://forum.novelupdates.com/profile-posts/174720

#9 - The quote BBC code being cut off and mobile ratings not showing up has been fixed.

New
#1 - New widget for new blogs.

I'm not sure why an add-on that has been out for awhile is so buggy but most of the bugs should be fixed. It shouldn't be as buggy anymore, I hope! I can't fix bugs that are not seen/reported so please help out by reporting any bugs related to the blog you see in this thread.

Thanks!

      @sufod01 The ratings has been fixed for mobile and the author link has been fixed. As for allowing users to change ratings? Probably not because I shouldn't spend too much time on this. Fixing that part of the script might take some time

      @NiQuinn The art category has been added.

      @Nom de Plume The quotes has been fixed.

      I don't know if this suggestion is valuable, but can comments on blogs be sorted by time? It's disconcerting to see latest comment on top and oldest comment on the bottom. Also, replies to comments on blogs is a nice feature to see incorporated.

      Oooooooh, I found a new one!

      Deleted comments still show as replies to your blog post, you can see it here: https://forum.novelupdates.com/blogs/boundary.1403/ (there should be a deleted reply by Emmyy on that blog post, I saw the alert of getting a reply, but there is no reply, so I assume it was deleted... And when I look at the number of replies, it is still being counted.)

      It seems like you get 2 alerts in case you are watching a blog post and you're tagged in that exact same blog post. It's a really minor issue, so I don't think you should bother fixing it, but I thought I'd let you know.
