Issue

Canvas does not currently officially support course blogs.

Discussion

The Discussions feature in Canvas mimics how Blogs worked in Blackboard.

Another solution is to use a third-party blogging utility such as Wordpress or Blogger (free tools) and then manually enter grades into Canvas if desired.
