Like I said it's probably 15-20% of what goes on there, blogs and stories, they just aren't called that. So there is tons of blogging going on on this site. Poke around off topic and consider how much of it is more or less blogging.
A separate thread per topic, and one thread per user blog is entirely different.
Honestly I'd be more in favor of a subsection which is specifically about people's life stories, personal updates, etc, than a one thread per user blog kind of situation. As you pointed out, we have a load of threads in Off Topic that follow the former style right now.
That's it! That's what I'm suggesting. There are sections on other forums that have separate journals/blogs, but they are under the ''umbrella'' of a lifestyle/general/personal story type subsection. That's not necessary. I honestly think that if you created a subsection called ''Lifestyle/Personal Matters''...that would be the better section to have people post personal journals sharing highlights and lowlights of their lives. And it would be filled with people, you'll see.
Build it and they will come?
