Since BLOGGS are mentioned and I admit I find myself confused as to the intent, please keep in mind the intent of the Bloggs area as stated by

My understanding of it ( though I've never done Blogging or any Social media stuff ) is that these are 'news feed' somewhat like 'Twitter channels' for members to tell us what's on their minds, what they are doing and planning and how their ideas are progressing -
Bought a new TV today and it's not controllable by my Sky digibox remote - Aaaaargh!
Time to decode the IR commands to the TV, set up the Sky remote to send Sony TV codes, use a PICAXE to read those codes and send what is needed to the TV. Wish me luck - I've got just three days in which to get this done!
The Project Gallery is correspondingly a Hackaday or Make style showcase to announce and show the fruition of PICAXE projects -
Had to build a PICAXE interface so my Sky digibox remote could control my TV. Quite simple really; a PICAXE-20X2, IR receiver and an IR LED plus some elbow grease in working out the IR commands to send. Hope you like how it all fits in a matchbox!
The Finished Project section of the forum ( or even external web sites ) would at present seem to be the best place to put full construction details of the project and the like and in the fullness of time Articles will also allow details of how things were achieved, thought through or designed and so on to be published.
It's really providing people with what's been asked for and giving appropriate means to express what's planned, what's been done and how to.
I think it all becomes clearer when you have a project in mind and start to put up details about that. As Technical notes, I believe you can add links, code, pictures and video to the Blogs where appropriate. I expect it will all fall into place for people who have never done such things when they start using them in anger, the idea likely quickly becomes less abstract.
I'm about to embark on that with my first small project since the new site was presented. Can you guess what it is from this post ;-)
