Setting a weblog to inactive prevents the weblog from being included  
in community areas, such as the front page, Planet, hot blogs  
listing, Technorati rankings, etc. -- but the blog is still available  
and visible to all.

Normally, this feature would only be used when a user is leaving an  
organization.

In that case an admin would either want to do this:
- Set the user's account to disabled so that they can't login
- Set the user's blogs to inactive so that they're still available  
but not on the front page

-- OR --

The admin would want to do this:
- Set the user's account to disabled so that they can't login
- Delete the user's blogs so that they're not available anywhere  
(except Google's cache ;-)

But in some cases a user might want to temporarily set his blog to  
inactive, maybe he's going on extended blog sabbatical or something.  
Why not allow that?

gotcha.  i just misunderstood what it was meant for, and i didn't realize that we already had a disabled flag as well.

makes perfect sense to me now ;)
