One of the issues with blogs is giving the students feedback. In some cases, if their blogs are riddled with errors it can be impractical to just make a few comments at the end of their work. I highly recommend Diigo (a free app downloadable from Diigo.com).
Once you have Diigo up and running you can highlight a student's blog and leave post-it notes attached to the highlight. After some trial and error I've discovered the best way to do his is to click on the entry title first so that your post-it's will be attached to the individual URL for that post. The student's main page is too dynamic... once their posts are archived you will lose your Diigo post it's. Of course, Diigo allows so much more... but that would be another in-service...
