Yes, I generally try and publish a blog post once-per-release, and generally with the following two goals in mind:

  - talk about and publicize some of the new features in the latest
    release (or releases, if I've missed a blog post or two)

  - share some interesting tidbits about existing features.

I think it would be good to have these blog posts in both places, should this proposal materialize. I would have to ask about whether or not GitHub would be comfortable about cross-posting to a new venue, and I'd be happy to raise the question when it comes up.
