Blogs need an option to set default markup

[reppep]

Individual blogs need a configurable "Text formating:" default, which should inherit from global settings. Changing to Markdown or XHTML each time is a nuisance, and easy to forget (causing broken posts).

With per-user and per-import settings this is low priority, but a default per blog for new users would still be useful.

Every user has its own preferred format, I don't see why every blog should have a default post format. This is based on user settings, not on those of blog.

[reppep]

Because a blog might be written by a large group of people, in which case it's likely to have a preferred standard format. I'm not sure how feasible this is, though, since user preference should be honored making blog preference meaningless. Perhaps it should just be a global default for user creation.

Actually, this cannot be done, as yes: user preferences are the key. When you create a user, you can chose the setting. Should you have a mechanism to create user in batches, that default setting would be part of the said mechanism.
