What should not be missed out in the discussion is the fact that blog post according to current guidelines should be written on the wiki.
We started drafting blog posts on Meta to encourage transparency and make it easier to translate them. Mike Peel suggested we start doing it and it makes sense for most posts (rather than drafting them locally on your computer, or in another program). It's also easier this way for blog editors because Tilman has written a scripthttps://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Blog/Converting_wiki_pages_to_blog_poststhat quickly converts markup to html.
Drafting on wiki is more of a good process than an ideal way to publish the content, in my opinion.
why?
