Customizing recent blog posts block I'm including the recent blog posts block in the sidebar of my Drupal site which pulls out the 10 most recent posts in a list with the title of the post linking to the post itself. I'd like to pull out more information, specifically the "Authored by" and "Authored on" fields.

What I have at the moment:

&lt;ul class="item-list"&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;
    &lt;a href="#postURL#"&gt;#post title#&lt;/a&gt;
  &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;


What I'd like to achieve:

&lt;ul class="blog-list"&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;
    &lt;a href="#postURL#"&gt;#post title#&lt;/a&gt;
    &lt;div class="author"&gt;#author#&lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;div class="date"&gt;#date&lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;


The blog_page_last function in blog.pages.inc appears to be where the fields are being pulled out but I can't work out the additional field names (author, date) to enter.

There doesn't appear to be a .tpl.php file in the blog module folder and I can't find anything in blog.module or blog.pages.inc that indicates how/where the markup is set.

Thanks
The block "Recent blog posts" is in blog.module.


/**
 * Implements hook_block_view().
 *
 * Displays the most recent 10 blog titles.
 */
function blog_block_view($delta = '') {
  global $user;

  if (user_access('access content')) {
    $result = db_select('node', 'n')
      ->fields('n', array('nid', 'title', 'created'))
      ->condition('type', 'blog')
      ->condition('status', 1)
      ->orderBy('created', 'DESC')
      ->range(0, variable_get('blog_block_count', 10))
      ->addTag('node_access')
      ->execute();

    if ($node_title_list = node_title_list($result)) {
      $block['subject'] = t('Recent blog posts');
      $block['content']['blog_list'] = $node_title_list;
      $block['content']['blog_more'] = array(
        '#theme' => 'more_link',
        '#url' => 'blog',
        '#title' => t('Read the latest blog entries.'),
      );

      return $block;
    }
  }
}


So there is no .tpl.php to customize. 
Using Views module to create a block which lists out recent blog posts would be a solution for you.

Hope this help,
