+1 on the need for blog widget or integration. A surprisingly glaring omission to the MUSE product offering.
I actually created my site and was recently looking to add blog functionality. Figured it should take me all of 5 minutes. Was a bit taken aback that it will cost me $18 per month but then I discovered that even if I pay that fee, there is still no easy way to add this in MUSE. I looked at the 3rd party add-on and it does seem like a fair amount of effort for MUSE beginners.
