Hi Jamie,

I've already implemented in the source code repository config settings for each of those checkbox defaults. You can find them in BlogConfiguration.cs near the bottom of the file. I've also set the default defaults to false for some of those such as show avatar instead of true like they were.

​So, if you build your own from source this is available today, otherwise it will be in the next release.

Best,

Joe

I pulled the latest source and was able to default "show author name" off with this key in my user.config:

   <add key="Blog:ShowAuthorNameCheckedByDefault" value="false" />

I do appreciate having this control at the installation level for now. If you feel it's worthy, I still think a low-priority change tracker entry to promote these three keys to blog-level settings would be helpful for us. I'm pretty sure that for at least a few blogs on our library site, we'd like to be able to default some of those on. Definitely no rush though.
