Opinions
I haven't heard much about blogs on the blockchain, but I have come across IPFS a long time ago. If it is used for blogs, access is very restricted. Without bypassing the firewall, it cannot be opened at all. Moreover, for slightly larger images, the speed of the nodes needs to be considered.
Another issue is the inability to modify. It is difficult to write articles without making any modifications, but the data on the blockchain cannot be changed, which makes it a bit inconvenient to use.
There is also the issue of cost. It doesn't matter much for a few articles, as there are plenty of free options available. However, it is not abundant and definitely cheaper than buying a server.
However,
If there are some articles that I don't need to worry about access issues and simply want to publish, whether people read them or not, and I don't want to maintain a separate server or be subject to too much control (I have nothing to do with gambling or drugs), then using blockchain data can be considered. The data will always be there (although this is uncertain, I remember that IPFS will recycle unused data periodically), and there is no need to worry about domain names and servers. Perfect.
XLOG
Before XLOG, there are two other well-known blockchain blogs that I haven't tried, so I can't evaluate them. Personally, I don't like to follow trends blindly. I usually consider playing with similar products when there are a few more available (except for ChatGPT, which is a magical tool).
Currently, XLOG looks good. The management interface is simple, but it is a bit difficult to get started for the first time (with wallets and fees). You can go to this website to claim coins [faucet.crossbell.io]. Other than that, there are no major issues. The future still depends on whether the developers can continue to maintain it.
