I tried it back in OpenOffice.org times, and after two years, except the 
fantastic contributions from Gabriel Gurley, I was the only publisher, 
so I decided to stop the blog. If we maintain a marketing blog, it must 
be actively contributed to, otherwise it will shed a bad light on our 
marketing efforts. ;-) So, if we find enough contributors, that would be 
great! I surely can write something from time to time, but don't count 
me in as regular blogger for the moment, as I am rather busy these days.

What we can always easily set-up is a marketing planet, so we combine 
blogs from our marketeers at http://planet.documentfoundation.org/marketing

For the SC blog (blog.documentfoundation.org), we use WordPress.com as a 
hosted service, which I can recommend.
