Is it legal to not keep logs?

  Why wouldn't it be?

    At least some organizations are legally required to archive certain information. I could imagine that there are certain obligations towards law enforcement to keep certain data and make it accessable upon court order.

      If you get a court order you have to hand over everything you have. But in most jurisdictions if "everything you have" is nothing there is nothing they can do about it.

      You might be thinking of "Know Your Customer" laws, which only apply to some industries and definitely not private persons for a blog. It applies to industries like financial, identification and certain types of commerce (eg: regulated products). Even then, only in some countries. I don't know where you live but maybe just knowing of the concepts should be helpful. I think you should be totally fine to start a non-commercial website without consequence, but of course this isn't legal advice.
