Reference verbosity, I think it depends on the type of blog.
A technical blog, or a informational blog, should be concise. People go there to learn something and don't want to have to wade through rubbish. One might go days or even months without posting, if there is nothing new.
An entertainement blog is something else. People want to read and be amused. They like to make it part of their daily routine, so want there to be something posted everyday. Many like to sit down for a long read, like watching a TV programme in the evening, so enjoy mandering provided it is amusing.
A lot of blogs fall in between.
I don't think it is easy to make guidelines about what a blog should be, without basing them on the individual audiences and preferences for the blog.
