The BuddyPress Groupblog plugin extends the group functionality by enabling each group to have a single blog associated with it. Group members are automatically added to the blog and will have blog roles as set by the groupblog admin settings.

Features:

• Full blog theme integration. The included bp-groupblog theme mimics the group pages.
• WP Admin option to set default blog for groups plus bonus options.
• Automated blog registration at group creation stage.
• Blog privacy settings are initially inherited from group privacy settings.
• Group members are automatically added to the blog.
• Blog roles match group roles as set by the group admin.
• Solid error checking that the blog follows validation.
• Group admin tab to access the group-blog settings.
• Recent posts are displayed on the group home page, much like the forum topics.
• A menu tab is added to display the latest blog activity and blog page links.
• Blog themes will have the ability to pull in group info and create a theme that could resemble the group exactly.
• Leaving the group will downgrade the member role to 'subscriber'.
• Allow the group admin to select one of his/her existing blogs.

Roadmap:

• Include an RSS icon for easy access to the Blog's RSS feed.
