  One way to do that would be in the blog modules views/themes/default/_layouts/blog.php to remove what is in that file and use the following:
  $this->load->module_view('app', '_layouts/main.php'); Where the "main.php" is the layout found in fuel/application/views/_layouts/main.php.

  Thx, this works.
  Would u let me know how it works? I search the module_view and no any result.
  
  Also, is it workable to modify $config['blog']['theme_path'] inside config\blog.php or something similar to achieve same purpose?
  
  Blog is a module which can be accessed it as a page, but other modules can't, e.g. if i go localhost/fuel/validate, i'll be redirected to admin page, what's the difference between Blog and other?

  And moreover, I wanna load the blog detail page using AJAX, may be appending the detail content to description without refresh, would you give me some suggestion?
  Thx again.

  The module_view method is something that FUEL has added to the HMVC Module library we are using. There is also a load->module_library, load->module_config, load->module_helper, load->module_model. The difference being that the first parameter is the name of the module to load it from ("app" can be used for the "application" folder).
  
  There is a "theme_module" parameter you can set in that file to have it pull from a different module (e.g. "app" for the app folder).
  
  With regards to using ajax to load the content, I suppose you could use the jQuery load ajax function and load it as a page fragment (this page talks about it http://api.jquery.com/load/).

  I got it, now it's success to use ajax, and I just added these lines in Blog_base_controller to prevent loading any layout if page is called by ajax:
  
  $this->load->helper('ajax');
  if (!is_ajax()) $output = $this->load->module_view($this->fuel_blog->settings('theme_module'), $view, $vars, TRUE);
  else $output = $vars['body'];
  
  Is this a bad way to work? Any better approach? Thx.

  I think that's as good a way as any.
