I created a Blog Landing Page template for everyone to use until the real blog pages are completed.
This template will give your readers a Blog Landing Page that only displays the posts you want to show up in your blog.
It gives you a place for a picture and a bio if you want, and will also let you do some branding and link to any other information you would like to show people when they first find you and see your blog.
I would also suggest a new topic tag #steemit-blogs, so people can find a list of Blog Directory pages with a simple search.
Since the markdown code will not display in this post, you must view it here for it to make sense: http://pastebin.com/18qGR0JL
Instructions on how to copy the template text into your new post are included at the bottom of the page.

Interesting concept, though I feel a bit confused looking over it.
Feels like it could use some clearer directions, as it seems like we're half-expected to figure it out on our own - versus making it simple, easy, and quick to implement for all users...

I added some descriptive text to explain it better.
Unfortunately the website will not display markdown codes in a post, so it is not so simple. That is why I put this together. When you open the text template you can see the markdown code, which explains the parts you cannot see in this post.
It is just a shortcut sheet until they can implement something like this: https://steemit.com/steemit-ideas/@tinfoilfedora/design-ideas-worth-stealing-er-emulating
