I can confirm this. Supposedly (according to the manual), it should be
possible to insert content elements in the usual way, but nothing
happens. Even using the non-TV templating method, it's not
particularly easy to set the blog up. I found it almost impossible to
set it up with any markup other than the default.

Seems to me that T3blog is a really nice idea (especially the BE
module and the IRRE method!), but that it's not really finished. In my
opinion, it's not usable in production unless you want your blog to
look just the snowflake one.
