I can admit that in this case there are other organizations that
mostly share Fedora values that are available to use but on the other
hand there is a reason that almost half of the Fedora syndicated blogs
are currently hosted by Fedora infrastructure. That number I am sure
would continue to grow over time to an even higher percentage and is
currently biased in a low direction by the existence of many bloggers
who already had things in place prior to the existence of blogs.fp.o.
Why would a Fedora contributor prefer to choose blogs.fp.o?

Yeah, I don't mean to say it has 0 value. There are still the things
you indicate that are advantages.
Sorry to vent a little about this here but I really think blogs.fp.o
has more value than it is being given credit for and I'm sad to see it
being retired. (And I accept that even if it was given the credit I
think it deserves the decision to retire it would probably not
change.)
Yeah.
Some things that might help some here:
* Make out openid support better/really good. That way you _can_ use
your fedora id when commenting or posting in any place that supports
openid.
* I see someone has made a fedora wp theme, that could help people
hosting elsewhere get some of the look and feel they may want.
Thanks for the post...
