I disagree with you that this is a bad thing. Try taking a look at the most recent blogs, and you'll find they're either someone introducing themselves to the wiki or asking for help with a story. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with making these types of blogs, and they certainly can be interesting to read, but they aren't exactly discussion-starters.

Unfortunately, it just so happens that most interesting and informative blogs are written by staff members - apart from the occasional well-written rants of a few, dedicated users. What I'm trying to say is that with staff blogs, quality and substance are guaranteed.

This is a dilemma, though; I can see how people wouldn't even bother to write a blog if it won't be clearly present unless you click the link to recent blogs. Having only staff blogs present on the main page can kill the incentive to write blogs. My overall opinion is just that the people who run this site probably have more interesting things to say, and therefore they should be given the spotlight - and I realize that it sounds like I'm sucking up to the admins, but I don't know how to phrase this differently.
