Ok, so i've waded through the replies and decided that I'll also need to do some template fiddling.

I'll need a nested loop to retrieve the child's replies, but i'm not sure how to determine in Template::Toolkit whether a reply has a reply or not.

Some pseudo code:

<!-- REPLIES START -->
    <table>
    [% FOREACH reply IN replies -%]
      <tr>
      <td/>
      <ul> 
      <li><h2>[% reply.blog_title %]</h2>
      <p>by <a href="[% Catalyst.uri_for('/users/view/')_ reply.blog_a
+uthor %]">[% reply.blog_author %]</a> on <em>[% reply.blog_date %]</e
+m> , is a reply: [% reply.blog_is_reply %], is a draft: is a draft: [
+% reply.blog_is_draft %]</p>
     
     
      [% FILTER html_para %]
      [% reply.blog_text %]
      [% END %]
      <small>
      tags: 
      [% FOREACH tag IN reply.blog_tags.split(',') %]
      <a href="[% Catalyst.uri_for('/blog/do_search')_'?q='_ tag %]"> 
+[% tag %]</a> ,
       <p><a href="[% Catalyst.uri_for('/blog/reply/')_ reply.blog_id 
+%]">comment</a></p>
      </li>
      
      [% IF reply.has_reply %]
            <ul>
              <li>(display reply to reply stuff)</li>
            </ul>
          [% END %]
     </ul>
      [% END %]
      </small>
     
      </td>
      </tr>
      [% END %]
    </table>
    <!-- REPLIES END -->
