As indicated in ARL's "Current Models of Digital Scholarly 
Communication," blogs are identified as an informal record of 
scholarly thought development. As such, this digital record 
should be viewed as a product (albeit "interim" and not "end") 
that may warrant preservation in an institutional IR, comparable 
to correspondence generated by leading scholars that are 
preserved in an archive.  How fascinating it would be to trace 
the development of an idea from it's inception in a blog to 
formal distribution via an article, book, song, or art work? 
Maybe someone has already done this type of research?
