How often do you expect everyone to write a blog post? Mostly this will just clutter the quick create menu. We expect T8994 to cover these edge cases.

In our community, for regular members (not involved in board/admin tasks), I expect it to be the one most commonly used action (the other common action being commenting on other people's posts). Either way, I can work with providing a separate link in a dashboard box. However, for a global menu I would find it confusing to not find "Create" actions in the "Create New" menu.

Only the most common actions are there, otherwise we'd have over 50 items. Personal customization offers better flexibility to individual workflows.

Maybe there can be a way to enable it as a menu item, but being disabled by default. Your call! Thanks for getting back to me despite the beta label (forgot that you don't take bug reports / features on it yet).
