I suggest putting the current blog entry in the top story position so that viewers can read at least some of the text on the blog page.

Example text: Dr. Susan Hakel uses her own time, and resources, to help little children in need. And, if their families need help too, she doesn't turn them away.

A pioneering doctor in free health care, Dr. Hakel helps treat those who have no health insurance. Once a month she visits Horace Mann Elementary school to perform free clinics for children and their families and anyone else who is in need.

"It's a transient neighborhood. It has a lot of people who are in dire social situations and I was happy to be able to pitch in a little bit," said Dr. Hakel.

Free clinics are just the latest venture by this socially-conscious doctor. Before she was mending the uninsured, she was helping around the elementary school's grounds for the last 15 years. She would tutor, get books, and even help carpet classrooms to help build the esteem and the appearance of Horace Mann.
