    In the navigation, there is Blog and Blogs. Blogs is the list of all blogs, but what is the Blog area? combined blog posts from all blogs?

    BuddyPress does run on WordPress MU, you know ;) It’s the main blog.

    I know how it runs, and what it runs on. Which user’s blog is it? the combined blogs? or admin blog?

    I don’t believe there is such a thing as a combined blog. Postings from across all blogs show up in the activity feed… but once you are within a blog (main blog or user blogs)… it’s a separate universe.

    Blog = the main BuddyPress Admin site blog

    Blogs = links / a listing of all your users’ blogs (include the admin blog)

    So, if you decide not to offer blogs to your users, you can still use the main site blog (admin blog) to disperse information–just as is done here on BuddyPress.org

    If you want to name the “Blog” slug something different, see this article:

    Thanks for that link Jeff. Good to know. I have to agree that the first time I saw “Blog” and “Blogs” in the navigation… I was confused. I’m sure that many users would continue to be confused for some time. So maybe “News” and “Blogs” or whatever would be a good option for some sites. Neat that it’s so easy to change this via the wp-config file.

    Now if I could just solve my problem of renaming / unregistering buddypress’ sidebars (without hacking the parent) :P
