[support] Creating a blog using Drupal 7

[Nancy Wichmann]

If you are going for a single user blog, you would probably be better off going with a normal content type and Views.

If you are going for a multi-user blog, I would stick with the Blog module. In Drupal 8, it will almost certainly be a contributed module, perhaps improved from the current core version.
