+Feature: Delete a blog entry
+  In order to manage my blog entries
+  As a user
+  I need to be able to delete entries I no longer wish to appear
+
+  Background:
+    Given the following "users" exist:
+      | username | firstname | lastname | email |
+      | testuser | Test | User | moodle@example.com |
+    And I log in as "testuser"
+    And I expand "Site pages" node
+    And I follow "Site blogs"
+    And I follow "Add a new entry"
+    And I set the following fields to these values:
+      | Entry title | Blog post one |
+      | Blog entry body | User 1 blog post content |
+    And I press "Save changes"
+    And I follow "Add a new entry"
+    And I set the following fields to these values:
+      | Entry title | Blog post two |
+      | Blog entry body | User 1 blog post content |
+    And I press "Save changes"
+    And I am on site homepage
+    And I expand "Site pages" node
+    And I follow "Site blogs"
+
+  Scenario: Delete blog post results in post deleted
+    Given I follow "Blog post one"
+    And I follow "Delete"
+    And I should see "Delete the blog entry 'Blog post one'?"
+    When I press "Continue"
+    Then I should not see "Blog post one"
+    And I should see "Blog post two"
+
+  Scenario: Delete confirmation screen works and allows cancel
+    Given I follow "Blog post one"
+    When I follow "Delete"
+    Then I should see "Delete the blog entry 'Blog post one'?"
+    And I press "Cancel"
+    And I should see "Blog post one"
+    And I should see "Blog post two"
