I do think the interest in "personal" blogs will wane

Not until the interest in "tell-all" memoirs, tabloid gossip papers, and "true story" movie-of-the-week type fare does... People always have been and always will be interested in other people's personal lives.

Whether or not a given individual's personal blog is interesting is one thing, but on a whole I think those who do have interesting lives and those who have the talent to make their writing interesting in general will continue to get traffic.
