For a little history, FYI the Eclipse Foundation did operate its own hosted WordPress instance for a number of years for exactly the reasons outlined by Erwin. But we stopped it because it required a surprising amount of maintenance, but more importantly most people preferred using their own blog hosting service of choice. So aggregating blogs at Planet Eclipse has been the compromise we've been running with.
I don't mean to say that we won't consider proposals for other ideas. Just wanted to pass along the history.

Dear all,
For the moment I've started an experiment with a first post on
http://eclipse.github.io/triquetrum/
This site uses the GitHub pages and Jekyll tools.
Next step is to get this into Planet eclipse.
I would be in favour of having a single place where we can easily
find and post articles/blogs related to the Science IWG projects,
as Jay and Andrea write.
Forums and mailing lists are good tools for handling short
messages, discussions etc, but the content is often only relevant
for some persons and also only for a short period of time.
A central place to offer a timeline/stream of articles/posts that
have a wider scope and with a longer "period of relevance" would
be a great addition to the tools-set for an IWG.
And it could provide a science-feed into aggregators like Planet
eclipse, be easy to reference in eclipse newsletters etc?
Also in the context of using eclipse tools versus external tools
(cfr the discussions about using GitHub issues vs eclipse
bugzilla), I think having an eclipse-operated platform for blogs
would guarantee long-term availability of the published content,
whereas personal/company blogs come and go...
merry Xmas,
erwin

Hey Jay, Everyone
Sure, we could host articles/blogs on the Science site. I think we
may want to think a little about what if any criteria we place on
such articles. An obvious thought would be that they are about the
projects... either directly, or notable use cases where they were
adopted to solve a problem or do something noteworthy.
If we had a regular stream of good content, it would likely build
a bit of a following.
What does everyone think?

You know, since science.eclipse.org
is running on Drupal, we should be able to host blogs there,
in theory. Andrea, what do you think?
In general though, there's currently no standard
way of hosting blogs for our projects. Let us know what you
settle on for Triquetrum and we'll at least try to link to
it from the Science site.

Hi
Erwin,
As you’ve already figured out, Planet Eclipse is just an
aggregator and there is no “standard� way of hosting a
blog for Planet Eclipse. Most projects don’t have a
dedicated blog, news are posted by their committers on
private or corporate web sites.
I think your approach is perfectly fine. It’s also a good
idea to use GitHub pages. RSS and Atom are very simple
formats, so I think you’ll be able to produce it quite
easily.
To get the blog to Planet Eclipse you’ll have to do as
Jonah suggested and file a bug report at https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=Community&component=PlanetEclipse.org
Best regards,
Torkild
