Blogs are defined as personal, non-commercial expressions of opinion, so a multiple-author site which makes money from ads would not count - at least thats the Herald's interpretation, as stated in the linked editorial.

Such a law here would render the likes of Michelle Malkin or Daily Kos completely impotent (assuming they'd adhere to such idiocy.) Heh. Soft tyranny? How completely ridiculous.
