Please don't get me wrong. I'm glad the world has mostly transitioned over to HTTPS, but what are you actually concerned about with reading a blog post over HTTP? If you had to log in or post form data, or hosted binaries or something I would get it. But what is wrong with reading an article in the clear? And how would SSL prevent that?
