I use lyceum for class-based blogging. It would be great if the opening page included:

 

1. Link to User Dashboard

2. Link to Accounts Page

3. List of Blogs User can Access

4. Feed of recent posts to system/ or recent comments to users own blogs/ or recently active system blogs

5. List of System-wide blogs
 

This is a pipe dream, perhaps, but how about a configuration add-on that allows users to tag the blog itself with a relevant category (English_class_blog) and a portal tool that will subsort all system feeds as per categories ....  It would be a great community management tool. 

I have created a function that can  classify  articles of blogs in Lyceum system-widely. It was done in this way:
Suppose A blog and B blog have a category named "Love story", then the articles of A and B in this category will be put together and shown on top pages.

Of course, you can have various ways to classify articles. One example is only the predefined category names will be deal with.

I will try to submit  it as a ticket this weekend.

I've been trying to persuade my institution that Lyceum is an enterprise level solution for student/faculty blogging needs. The relatively weak group-management functions and fact that their are no available service contracts seem to be the show-stoppers.
