Well, in his case, it's best "he" can do, since he's stuck using WordPress.... LOL
I'll edit and do more, once I get him converted over.
That's my next project, as I'm really tired of the issues I have on WP...
I just need a really good dark theme, for one. As well as the time to do it.

It's a matter of re-designing display layout. A simple theme for blog board. If you got time, that should be pita.

There is one feature I saw in Wedge, I'd love to see in ElkArte...
The ability to have a board displayed as a blog.
When they see board index, and click to enter the board, it does look awesome as blog layout for the posts.

Like I said. It's a matter of theming the board.
Plus, you might need first post to be always on top addon for that. You might also need relevant topics addon too.
The only lacking, if you need one, I might say is reply to reply (not to first post). Other than that, the theming could be done quite easily.

Theming the board, is not going to do the blog list of topics, instead of the regular.
That's a fair amount of coding, which if not mistaken, is in more than the topic display template.
Now, with the SP pages feature, I can set blog pages up, but then the blog boards would still be visible to everyone who accesses the board index.
Unless, I get crafty, and try to use css, to hide those boards. However, how would I do that, for all but the admin?

Seems like you need a more pure blog addon. There was once a good blog mod in smf but it was withdrawn after it almost finishes. I can't remember its name but I think I have a copy of that in my pc for personal reference.
However, that will definitely make your forum buggy.
Alternatively, bridge EA with WP. There is already a working mod for that in SMF.

For me, we should let the user profile become a blog page. For that we just need to create or convert an addon so that a user can write a blog his own status, thought, etc. Have you look into Breeze?

Lol. She's ok. Her mods too. Lol.
If I'm not mistaken, the license (MPL 1.1) allows anybody to modify it and may be port it subject to the license toc.
If you are using SP, then you can re-list the message index for the blog board next to your post. The related topics mod can also do the trick of listing similar topics but it needs to be ported.
