Is there a way to Blog on here? If so how?

No, there's not. This is not a blogging site. It's a book cataloguing site.

And yet my review stream here is the closest thing I've produced to a consistent blog in the last decade.

It depends on how you see /what you mean with blogging. A real blog? No. But you can set your own thread and talk about what you read (and other people can comment) easily enough.

And then there is what >3 paradoxosalpha: mentions.

The equivalents to blogging on LibraryThing:

A. Join a group where members keep personal threads and create your own topic for your posts. (This remains closed to search engines and general public views, unless I'm mistaken.)

B. Post using the comments feature on your profile page. Each comment can be set to private (only you) or public (everyone).

There are various ways to comment for oneself and others, but not as a real blog. If you want to talk about your life with a few friends, mostly on LT, it can be done.

If you want to have your own colour scheme, can't be done.

If you want to have sponsors, and advertise their products, TOS violation. You'll get flagged for spamming.

If you want non-LT people to be able to comment, doesn't work. (i think you could probably give them a working URL for a thread.)

If what you really want is a regular blog, you should choose a blog site.

>5 aspirit: Actually, as long as a thread isn't in a private group, it's on search engines and anyone can see it.

>7 drneutron: Huh. I wasn't getting any in internet search results by searching on the topic name, but Google (which I infrequently use) does show Talk. Good to know.
