I just installed the module and setup a few user locations. Then I enabled the locations block for my user's blog pages. I expected that it would show the users location, but this doesn't seem to be the case. Am I missing something? Does the locations block provide a this functionality?

Thanks!

Currently location block only works for location enabled nodes. (and it relates to the location for the node) I will think about setting it so that it uses the writer's location for blog nodes.

Thanks for the reply! I think having a user's blog show to location of the user makes a lot of sense.

So I've thought about this some, and I have decided that the way I will handle this is that I will add a new block "Author location" which will show the location of the author of a node.

I will set it up so that it can be enabled/disabled by node type.

Thanks. Good, straight forward solution.

Has there been any progress with this feature? Thanks for your support

I started to work on this, but it wasn't quite as easy as I had hoped. In the current cvs version, my first stab is in there but commented out. If anybody wants to try to get it working, it shouldn't be too difficult. If not I will try and get it working soon.
