It's not exactly a blog, since I didn't think ahead (rather it's just a very long forum thread), but when I started writing my I think it generated a lot of essential early enthusiasm for the MUSH in development as a whole from other members of the JTS community, if only because I took time to chart my progress, show exactly what was going on in my mind at times, point out where I think I went wrong at some points, and generally give previews of what the game would be like when it entered beta at a time when information seemed pretty sparse.

In that respect? I think a blog could be successful in generating interest in a MU* or MU*s in general. Do I think it got a lot of interest from people outside of the community I was already working in? No, but that was also not my intent when I began to write. So I think it depends on what you want your blog's objective to be. Intracommunity promotion is different from trying to attract non-MU* players for conversion.
