I'm sorry, I'm sure this gets asked all the time but I can't find the answer anywhere.

Do we earn gold for writing blog entires?

While I'm on the subject, do we get gold for commenting on blogs? What about commenting on a profile?

Nope, there's no gold awarded for blogs, comments on blogs, profiles, etc.
It's pretty much just in the forums and playing games where you get gold. ^^

Aww, no gold for long, self-absorbed journal entries?! I'm screwed!

Hehe, thank you. I'll keep my ranting to the forums then. :XD

This is to prevent people from posting any old tosh to gain gold, you see. If blogs gained gold then they'd have to be moderated to make sure people weren't just copy/pasting reams of rubbish.

Yes, that makes complete sense. To me, the quest threads seem almost like a live, interactive blog. I think I found my home in that forum! Thanks for all the help and explanations!
