I take it that Graham has taken blog.lilypond.org off the table, until the
blog has proven itself.

I think there's another option that may actually be best.  That's to
register a domain like lilypondblog.org that can work as the blog's
potentially permanent address.  

- It works whether the blog becomes more official, or stays more of a
community blog.  

- It can easily follow the blog to whatever server it's hosted on (including
wordpress.com) should this need to change.

- It's not tied to another site or project (as with blog.openlilylib.org)

- It could reasonably be the blogs' address indefinitely.

- It indicates seriousness about the intended longevity of the blog.

The only downside I see is that it is about $10 a year to register a domain. 
But I think it would be worth it.  If five or so people commit $2 a year,
then it's covered.
