It would be great to be able to enable comments on blogs, without comments we are constantly explaining to users why they can't find the 'turn comments on' button as comments are such a standard feature of blogs.

The lack of this feature leads support staff to prefer to disable the blog tool than to answer frequent complaints and requests to enable comments.

I would suggest that if Moodle blogs are not going to have comments they be renamed something like "Personal Notes" so that users don't confuse them with blogs.
