I agree with the other replies that it doesn't make sense to ask bloggers to stop writing if they don't have many readers, not even if their writing is truly poor. Many bloggers aren't aiming to be the next Joel Spolsky or Raymond Chen, they're content with relatively few readers, and that's a good thing. If nothing else, writing is good exercise for future writing. If the 'blogosphere' is functioning well, it shouldn't much matter if inexperienced bloggers are churning out poor quality posts, as the best ones should still rise to prominence just the same. The average quality of all blog posts doesn't much matter. The existence of high quality blog posts is what matters. On a somewhat different note, I'd ask bloggers not to misrepresent their skill level. It might be good exercise for a student to write about a topic they're learning about, but it's frustrating to read a post written in an authoritative tone which turns out to be full of rookie misunderstandings.
