Quote CC-BY-SA "All new works based on yours will carry the same
license,", IIUC a blog that contains significant content becomes a
derivative work, and so has to have CC-BY-SA as well.  But most blog
sites (especially ones hosted by others, usually have other licenses
and terms and conditions that make it hard to change just one blog to
a different license.
