It was a hassle for the software developers to get multiple blogs in the same /blogs/ folder. There are still some peculiarities with this in how the content is managed in Umbraco.
If there are multiple blogs in a single instance, make the /blogs/ folder a directory of currently published blogs with the following configuration options:
Allow the user to select how many posts to show on the page.
Set an option to show the most recent blog post as highlighted, with an image, larger text, display the excerpt/description inline.
Set an option to show the excerpt/description, date, and date format along with the blog post link.
Set an option to enable/disable RSS feed for the blog.
The default settings automatically place all blog posts inside a folder called /archives/ Why not make the default folder something like /posts/? Or just put the blog post in a corresponding month and year folder?
Consider turning date on by default in the URL. This should help prevent duplicate blog URLs and will help organize blog posts into month and year folders, similar to other blog software.
Add breadcrumbs to blogs and blog posts. These are helpful to users, so they have a consistent experience across the site. Breadcrumbs also help Google and search engines crawl and index blog posts and content.
Consider an option to add an on/off switch that would add a meta noindex tag in the header of tag pages. Often these pages aren't incredibly useful to search engine crawlers.
When published, blog posts should be added to global sitemap.xml file. This is an XML file with a list of all of the important web pages on a website, it is used by search engines to determine which pages to crawl first and can be useful in notifying search engines that you have new content available.
By default, both category and tags should be switched to lowercase and spaces should be replaced with hyphens before the tags and categories are written into URLs. Not doing this, you end up with category and tag URLs that look like this.

Pinterest friendly SEO would also help, as many bloggers are highly dependent on their content being easy shareable on it.
