When creating a blog it asks if it should be visible to "All visitors" or "Members only." The first choice implies that the blog can be visible to people who aren't logged in as an RIU member. However, it doesn't work this way. I can't view a blog unless I'm registered and logged in.
I think if the blog's permission were honored it would lead to RIU having more visitors (and, lead to more members). If blogs were indexed by search engines, it would lead to more people finding their way here. Also more opportunity to link to an RIU blog at other sites.
Imagine all the RIU search results if someone googles for "purple trainwreck grow journal" and gets a dozen RIU results.
