Blogs can be useful for many purposes, both in one's personal and professional life. As a personal blog, I enjoy reading those that are about DIY projects at home, especially those that help make the most out of your space. On a professional note though, there are tons of crafts, activities, and lessons that teachers have found successful and share on their blogs to give other teachers the opportunity to use it with their own students.
In the teacher education program, I am currently using blogs for the 23 things assignment. In the future, I foresee using my blog to share with other teacher candidates (also perhaps professors, if they were interested) my clinical experiences as I find them incredibly fulfilling.
I had a teacher in highschool who had us blog about a particular poet throughout the semester and reflect upon several of their poems. It was a writing/critiquing exercise which taught me to love writing as well as reading poetry. I would perhaps use it in this fashion with elementary students to have them tell about their favorite chapter books, author, or even just as a place to practice creative writing.
