Next, set up your blog options. To do so, edit the Blog App, and then select Options.
First, determine your display settings. You can display all, or a specific number of blog posts.
Next, select the Social Settings tab.
Community Editing allows you to grant users or groups the ability to edit or contribute to your blog. You can control which users or groups can edit or contribute to your app in the Community Editing tab.

Under commenting, you have the option to require approval, and set the display order of the comments.
When you allow commenting, you can use the commenting tab to limit which users or groups can comment. By default, any visitor can comment.
Selecting RSS Feeds allows visitors to subscribe to your blog through RSS.
And finally, select Sidebar to set your preference for displaying content date groupings and tags on the sidebar.
