As for blog design as a service, I am not suggesting anyone limit themselves, but my clients come to me because I work with WordPress and interested in blogs as a way to improve SEO and I end up with bloggy sites, it’s the other way around.

SWFObject does a great job of allowing you to present the same content to search engines, screen readers, old browsers, et al., albeit with more work on the design end. As far as blog design, it's definitely a subset of web design. The advantage of limiting yourself is that there's a relatively fixed quantity of features, and a limited set of software to learn. It's questionable how long-lived blog design will really be, tho. A lot of times flash is a necessary evil, but that doesn’t mean it has to be empty.
