Somewhere in the CivicSpace or Drupal archives I said something to this effect more than a year ago. But I can't code modules ... sigh ... but yes, this is exactly what I've advocated for in the past. I honestly do not understand why there are distinctions between blog, story and page. I find them redundant. For someone who is a publisher/designer and minor tinkerer of modules, I'd consolidate those three into just the blog node and make that as extensible or static as possible.

I don't think demoting polls to a second class data type as an answer; a poll should be a node, but we need our blogs and forums to be able to accept more content types than just 'blog' or 'forum'.
I'm with Earl on this one. Blogs are not a *content type* even though we treat them that way in blog.module. They're a container, and (in most cases) a presentation style. "Blogs" should be able to accept weblink nodes, images, polls, journal entries, and so on.
