Title:
  Recent Blog Post Activity in Dashboard View

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  In 1.3.0cr - There is no Blog block when editing the Dashboard View,
  which makes sense with the current Blog blocks that have been
  available in views... however, the Dashboard View would be greatly
  improved by the availability of a new Blog block that displays the
  recent blogs a person has written posts within.

  Recent Blog Post Activity 
  This block could list the Blog titles by those where the most recent posts have been made.   
  - Line one, lists the blog where the most recent post was published, or saved as a draft.  The blog title could be hyperlinked to take the person directly to that blog's editing panel (where all posts are listed and they can add new post, edit previous posts).  There could also be an "+ New Post" to the right of the title, which would allow a single click access to writing a new reflection within a commonly used post.  
  - The second line would be similar to the first, except it would list the blog with the second most recent activity.  Even if the first blog contains the 5 most recent posts, this block could rank BLOGs by their activity type. 
  - and so on... listing the five recent Blogs with activity.

  I suppose this is a Wish-list item, but I think it would greatly
  improve the capacity to encourage student reflections.  Currently,
  once logged in, it takes at least three clicks to post a new item in a
  blog (MyPortfolio>Blogs>New post), but it might take as more if the
  blog is listed on a second or third page of the blog-panel.

  The concept is to create a "Recent Blog Post Activity" module that
  shows up only when the Dashboard View editing panel is present, and is
  perhaps already listed in the default dashboard-view.
