Blue smoke is always burning oil, the path for the oil to get into the
cylinders where it gets burned can be different, it doesn't always have to go
past the rings. Worn valve stem seals could potentially (although Marshall pooh
poohed it) allow oil in as could a clogged breather.
Over fueling (what Tyler talks about in his later message) makes black smoke.
White smoke would be coolant.

So blue smoke could be something other than burning oil? I thought blue
smoke always meant burning oil.
Thanks for the suggestions. I will have to try to check the breather and/or
install a new one.
