Im gonna agree with
@Deus and
@Kylo Ken and disagree with the sidebar removal. I'll list my points below.
1. I only follow 4 other members, however, other members who post blogs often have interesting things to say and sometimes even need support. Without the sidebar im no longer able to see blog posts from members unless i visit every page individually (this is the only way i'm aware of being able to view blogs without the list being present), this is a major inconvenience for myself and im sure other members too.
2. As a member who writes blogs its much easier to scroll down to the blog list and select my blog if i wanted to make changes to it rather than clicking through my profile.
3. Im not sure how inconvenient the sidebar was. I use mobile so i dont know where it would be on a desktop but for me the blog list is at the very bottom and easy to ignore. I imagine notifications for blogs are much harder to ignore than a list at the bottom of the page.
4. Not having quick access to the list of blogs will majorly decrease the frequency of comments and blog making. Fewer people will see them thus fewer people will comment. An example is myself who will only get blog notifications if one of the four members i follow posts, thus i wont see the majority being posted.
(As a sidenote the idea Deus had of editing the blog title to 'deleted' and erasing the text seems like a sound fix to me until a better solution is found.)
I dont really see any benefits in removing the sidebar, which is easily ignored to begin with (at least on mobile) but maybe the desktop version has flashing lights and bells.
