Don't use the blog module to create a blog

I just read a comment on the Drupal site saying that it makes no sense to use the blog module for single-person blogs, and that the story module should be used instead. That’s hardly intuitive…

He’s absolutely right, though, and it explains why I was so frustrated with the module that I created a new language in the program to rename all the “Steve’s Blog” links to “Random Thoughts” (after having originally modified the module itself to not include that link). Besides not being a fan of the word “blog”, I don’t need a link after every single entry linking to all my posts, since I’m the only person who posts on this site.

UPDATE node SET type = 'story' WHERE type = 'blog';

Fixed. No more links. Brian, this should make the “read more” links easier to see now, too. :-) I could turn off comments, which would make it even easier to see, but I’m still hoping to get occasional feedback (not that most of my posts really warrant any feedback).
