Moodle is here to stay and has had a huge takeup in schools - believe me, it's easier to get teachers to learn one system well than two badly, also Moodle is rapidly adding CMS like functionality - see eg http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=25375 . That said, the potential of offering secure blog space and some form of e-portfolio to our students is an appealing one, Moodle doesn't really provide this at the moment, although it's on the list for the next release, can Drupal's blogging be set up so as to limit access to authenticated users only?
