BlogShow option to limit the entries shown by username.

[Kevin C. Krinke]

Below is a patch to add the feature requested. Being that I'm already using this feature, I'm only submitting it here for other people who may want something of the like.

This is particularly great for when the site has pages dedicated to each user (ie: wiki/Username) where by using this option on such pages will essentially provide for a blog dedicated to just that user. No one else's blogs would show up and the calendar even works as expected, ie: only showing tallies of their entries as well as when you click a day/date it redisplay's the same page with only that day's entries from that user being displayed.

Wonderful plugin by the way!

Replying to kckrinke:

Below is a patch to add the feature requested.

I believe the patch I pasted into my original post was broken, I've attached a proper patch for the feature request. Sorry about that.

Cheers!

Thanks for the patch. Looks good. I'll try to apply it this weekend.

Sorry it's taken me so long to address this. Thanks again
