Description:
New options are added to Moodle’s blog, such as, voice recording, media support and a blog search.
Moodle’s media blog allows students to record and save voice files directly to the Moodle blog from within the browser. Flash Media Server is required to record and save audio files. Users can also post text and/or media to their blog using a mobile phone or other mobile device.

How to Use:
1. Go to Blog page and click “Add a new entry” link
2. If you want to record your voice, click “Record” button.
3. Speak into the microphone.
4. Click the “Stop” button.
5. Check the “Save record” checkbox.
6. Click “Save Changes”.

Installation:
1. Install “Voice Comment Nanogong” filter
