As it stands, it's helpful to read that blogs become tedious and take the joy out of reading when it's just repetitive and drawn out. Perhaps what's needed in elementary is a variety of blogging experiences in response to a particular unit or content area. And, what happens with adult bloggers will probably be what happens with kids--those who really love it will want to do it consistently and well, and as they get older may blog independently, and those that don't will only do so if assigned to, without much quality, and will not continue on their own.
