Help! The blog is driving me nuts, I cannot get it to work properly! As a reminder, my site is set up with a small closed community. Everyone is set up to belong to the organic group for the entire school, plus the organic group for their particular grade. Nearly all of it works the way I want, except the principal's blog. I have it set up so that the blog entries are always in the All-School organic group, because we don't want the general public reading it and I don't see any other way to limit how the entries are viewed.
My problem is that whenever an entry is posted by the principal or a comment is approved by the principal, it's emailed to the members of the All-School group (all who have chosen to receive emails - I've set this to not receive emails for everyone manually, but they can go in and change this themselves, which I wish they couldn't, but that's a different issue). How do I tell the blog to NOT email members of the All-School group?
Thanks for any suggestions.

an alternative approach
What if I set the blog to not have any group: is there a way to only allow the blog view to show to authenticated users? I had hoped to force them to be part of the all-school group, but truly there isn't any difference between the all-school group and the authenticated users role in this situation. But I don't see a way to do that either...
in the og settings
In the latest version of OG, you can exempt specific node types from email notification -- it's in the email settings at admin/og/og

done -still not working...
I have that set right. So now it doesn't email comments out BEFORE they've been approved - this was the first problem awhile back. But it still emails them out when they are posted live. I went round and round before trying to get that much fixed, and was so overjoyed when it was, I didn't want to have to go back to them. They said it was fixed, I believed them. They also said it was fixed in the latest version of Drupal because that was where the problem was originating from. I upgraded both drupal core and OG, and am still having the same problem. I hacked OG in one spot but it shouldn't have affected blogs or emails.
Is anyone else having this problem? Is anyone else using the blog as part of an organic group and NOT having this problem?
