Confluence 1.0 RC6 was released today. You can read the full details of what's new in the release notes online, or download it here.

There are also some new documents online which will be of use to different users:

We hope you enjoy Confluence, and welcome your feedback on this new release!

Arguments: 1: The number of posts to display
content:
Output: A listing of blog posts the number of which determined by input
Bundled with Confluence?: yes

Can you make a new blog that's not space-wide? I.e. blogs within spaces?

It looks like this tag is tied down to being the news posts in a space, so it should probably be named "news-posts" instead of "blog-posts". SnipSnap has a feature that lets you put a {weblog} tag on any page to create a new blog on that page, the same as a news item here but it's not tied to the space, it's tied to the page.

I can't find this answer anywhere.

Hi Aaron,

In Confluence, all news is held at the space level, so there is no way to have sub-blogs in any one space. However you may be able to use labels to categorise and isolate blog posts for the blog-posts macro

e.g. {blog-posts:labels=confluence,atlassian}

This way you can target the blog-posts macro to specialised news categories

Great, thanks.

There's more documentation on this feature at CONF20:Blog Posts Macro

Hi Christopher,

How about extracting news/blogs that are across space?

I am thinking of using this blog-posts macro as an easy means for my managers to report monthly status.  Each manager has their own space and news.  I would like to have a page that "syndicates" all their news labelled with their respective unit name e.g. "helpdesk" and "monthly_report".

Now it seems this macro is effective within the space.  As such, news created in their respectively space cannot be seen outside a page in another space.  E.g. "Report Space".

Pls help.  Thanks.

I am looking for the same functionality. In particular, I'd like to be able to aggregate all of our developers' individual weblogs from their personal spaces into a single rss feed that can be displayed on the home page for the Development Team space in our installation of Confluence.

Any feedback on this would be appreciated.

I've just dones some work on similar source filtering (eg. 'spaces=@personal') for another plugin. My preference would be for the built-in macro to get upgraded, but I'm not sure how likely that is, so it may be a matter of creating a replacement (eg. {news-posts}). It's a feature I've wanted for a while too. Not sure when I will get time to look at it though...

Very interesting - I created an issue for this yesterday, and have just updated with your suggestion about '@personal' as a special value for the 'spaces' attribute. See CONF-7010

We are also looking for the same functionality. I want to be able to use the blog-posts macro, but specify which user's blog posts to show, and have this work on any page. Is this functionality going to be implemented anytime soon?

Another vote for this functionality. News aggregation on team pages would be very useful.

Hi all,

While a little more vebose, you can now achieve this with the Reporting Plugin. An example of just such a thing is here.
