Hi Nigel,

Now I know why I had missed the blog copying functionality: It is only visible when the view copying is turned on. Makes sense, but is a bit tricky, in my opinion. If you are used to the blog block (and you always start out creating a view with the default setting "copying not allowed") with copying disallowed, then you would not know that you can decide to allow copying of blog posts if you do not happen to change that block after allowing copying and chancing upon the advanced settings.

Thus, it would be clearer, I think, if the view access page had information on what is copied (in general terms, i.e. which blocks, or what can be left out / configured. Is the blog block the only one that can be left out (looks like that to me)? If so, could there be check boxes on the access page for (wording open for improvement):

    * allow displaying all blog content of this view in the copied view
    * allow copying of all blog content displayed in this view
    * check each blog block individually to allow copying
