DTOO212 - Blogging entries created from inside Office products must be configured for SharePoint only.

Information

The blogging feature in Office products enables users to compose blog entries and post them to their blogs directly from Office, without using any additional software.
By default, users can post blog entries to any compatible blogging service provider, including Windows Live Spaces, Blogger, a SharePoint or Community Server site, and others. Leaving this capability enabled introduces the risk of users posting confidential and FOUO date to non-DoD sites.

Solution

Set the policy value for User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Microsoft Office 2013 -> Miscellaneous 'Control Blogging' to 'Enabled (Only SharePoint blogs allowed)'.
