This widget is essentially a blog stream. It allows a user to see previews of all of the blog posts that they have permissions to see. An administrator can also choose to feature a blog post, making it viewable by everyone.

The Settings tab allows you to set the number of characters in each post's preview.
By default, this widget will only show blog posts based on the permissions of the specific user. If the "Show only Featured Blogs" checkbox is selected, then the widget will show only Featured blog posts, regardless of the audience permissions set on the featured posts.
