The SpecialCreateBlogPost special page should be easily accessible to users with the right to create blog pages. For example, adding a link to the tools section of the sidebar, or on the profile action links on the user profile, or both. A big plus if it's even configurable (display on sidebar, profile action, or both).
For example, there's a Special:Upload link in the sidebar for users with upload rights, and there's a link to upload avatar and edit profile on the profile action links.
New users that don't know how to create a blog page, may start creating a page using the standard editor, which doesn't categorize the page correctly nor add the comments feature. This is specially true when there's no discoverable way to create a blog page in the UI.
