Check out Paul Bradshaw's list (it's really 100 things, not 1000):
#1 Blogging is not 'writing a blog'. Blogging is linking and commenting. Any writing is a bonus.
...and then there are 99 more. Which ones you agree with, which ones not? After all, blog is just a software and different people use it for different purposes, so none of those lists are applicable to all.

Nice site. Bradshaw really should learn how to count though.
Fanboy posts are annoying, see Linux et al. Technology is is a tool. If you know how to use the tool, it matters very little which brand you use. Michelangelo carved David with what we would consider "primitive" tools. Renaissance painters mixed their own pigments and made their brushes. Their reliance on "inferior" technology did not hinder their progress or prevent them from producing timeless art.
Agreed, content is the prince, Layout is the king. If readers can't find the content to discuss, there will be no conversations.
