How do I set the quota/profile of a specific individual so that only their blog post is featured on the homepage?

you could try this
{jrCore_list module="jrBlog" search1="_profile_id = 1" limit="1" group_by="_profile_id"}

and replace 'profile id=1' ( change the "1" to the profile id number of the person whose blogs you want to show...)
I am not sure if this is the correct way but tested it here and it worked for me...
Good luck!

Nothing to do with quotas - use the SiteBuilder listing widget. Set the List Module to Profile Blog, then use the search field(s) to select the profile and/or the blog. If its just one blog, set the Result Limit to one.

Or, if its in a template, use Curtis's solution ;-)

Yes I actually generated the code using site builder- then copied it in case she was not using the site builder...works both ways :)

OK so I did that, and nada. I did it the way Paul said to, but I even checked the code to what Curtis did, looked good and yet nada.
Here is the code I have:
{jrCore_list module="jrBlog" search1="_profile_id = 98" limit="1" group_by="_profile_id"}
What did I do wrong? (I say that a lot)

I know its probably a silly question but does profile #98 have nay blogs written yet? I used the code you posted and just changed the profile id # to 1 and it displays fine on my site
Makes me think that blog module is not active or no blogs written-usually something simple like that...

Curtis, I specifically chose that person to test since I knew that they had blogs imported already and indeed, there was a blog there before I tried this. so I am at a loss. I guess I will try with another member.
But what you described is something I could do! D'oh! :)

HA! Changed to a different member and it worked. Thanks for the help! Curious thing that it didn't work with the other member.
Update... that is an older blog post. How do I adjust this so that I get the latest?

It wont show their blog posts if the profile is set to 'Private'. You can check that by going to the profile as the admin, then click on the settings 'gear' icon. If their 'profile active' is off, or 'profile privacy' is set to PRIVATE.

The docs for jrCore_list are here:

"{jrCore_list}"
http://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/development/89/jrcore-list

Try this code:
{jrCore_list module="jrBlog" search1="_profile_id = 98" limit="1" order_by="blog_publish_date numerical_asc"}

and the other direction is:
{jrCore_list module="jrBlog" search1="_profile_id = 98" limit="1" order_by="blog_publish_date numerical_desc"}

Those will show by the blog publish date. Or you could use the _created date if you wanted to order by the newest added to the system.

The difference is "user adds a blog set to become visible at christmas, then writes another blog post set to be published tomorrow.", the difference is when the blog is published, vs when the blog is created.

Ah now I see. I had it reversed in my mind about the numerical_asc" v numerical_desc".

Thanks for clarifying that!

I'm going to try it now! Thanks Michael!

OMG Michael,

When I went to adjust it (using the template) the whole site builder glitched when I went back to check! (btw, your code worked!)
I have lost some of my widgets and others just moved.
Is there a way to restore?

Don't worry Perrie/Michael - I was working on your site at the same time and did that, as explained in my email.
