Isn't MyISAM the default?  As I recall from past experience, I thought
InnoDB's main strength was transaction processing.  It would seem blog
performance is really more bound by query processing.  So, I'd be surprised
to hear a lot of blog installs were using InnoDB, but that is probably just
my academic perspective.
