IMO, there are really only 2 solutions to this problem.

1. better documentation/tutorial/s so that people could get a basic blog up
and running. A better blogging template in the default install would also
help.

2. a default blogging install "profile" similar to the way KickApps has
their own default install. Joomla needs to have an OOB blogging solution or
WP will keep kicking it in the arse.

Also, an important question is, does Google consider Joomla to be "blogging:
software (and not merely a CMS) ?

One reason this is an important question is that Google made a change last
month in the way it displays blog and news feeds. Specifically it tags a
feed as a "Blog" only if it is generated using software on a specific list
of blogging software.

I wonder if Joomla! is even on the list ??
