I have been doing the stuff - honestly!
I even wrote a long MOOCs post which I didn't quite finish and publish but which then disappeared.
Having been a big fan of the blog I am now frustrated by being directed to blog posts rather than forum posts. It's not as easy to engage as a group on a wide range of blogs rather than one page of forum discussions.
I am finding the material interesting but not mind-blowing. Once I get the point I can usually anticipate what issues will be raised and what problems will be identified. I suppose this represents my learning about the subject matter and also adopting a mindset which is sensitive to that learning. Of course I occasionally hear a point I hadn't thought of but this is less often than before.
I shall plod on with the activities but I shan't blog or engage with them all - often because I have little to add.

I completely agree with you about blog posts over forum posts which is why I always choose forum posts where we are given a choice.
I suspect the designers of the course were trying to get us to build our own communities of practice or whatever, but the OU blog doesn't itself well to this (it's difficult to search though blog posts or subscribe to OU blogs).
