When adding a journal block to a page, you can choose to set the block
copy permissions irrespective of whether the block has been set to
"Allow copying" or not.

Title:
  Access controls for blog copying

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  from http://mahara.org/interaction/forum/topic.php?id=1082

  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
