You want to have your form post to itself. Right now it's skipping the validation.
All of your validation functions are in the index method. Change this line in myBlog_view.php:
<?=form_open('myBlog/myBlog_insert');?>
to:
<?=form_open('myBlog');?>
And then you'll need to call the insert method after the validation, so in your controller, before this line: $this->load->view('formSuccess_view');
you'll need to add in this:
$this->myBlog_insert();
See if that works.
