In fact blog page in mambo joomla puts together various content items and is configurable by users. Note that its just the differently organized view of same content items. As I discover more blog component turns out to be real good way of organizing your content. I would map it to what is called as category in wordpress.

Mambo Joomla blog component can be used to create the views similar to what user gets on home page of any mambo/joomla site. On my site www.skincarediary.com I have used blogs to create multiple home pages for each category, its certainly better than linking content tables from menu.

How to best utilize blog component:

1. Have your content organized in the section/categories the way you want.
2. Create a menu for blog page-category for the category/section of your choice.

Now you can see that blog page shows the content items from that category/section in the way homepage items are displayed.
