It looks like some users are interested in keeping blogs. Still there's a majority of users who don't really care and never used them. We may give it a test run and see if blogs take off with the support of users (if they fail to revive in 1-3 months there will be enough evidence about their necessity). However, there will be more precise rules as to the nature of blogs. It will have to be blogs about personal experiences with learning Russian or personal travel experiences in Russia. No reprints or copy-and-paste from other blogs/sources will be allowed in blog posts.
