I believe google discounts blogs link value in general

Not yet...

However, the nature of most blogging systems is that the linkjuice is short lived. When a post goes up on a Wordpress blog (for that is what everyine is using... ever stop to think whether that's a clever choice?) then the homepage of the blog carries the link. Over time, though, the article drops off the home page. If, during that time, loads of people (deep) linked to the article, then links from the article continue to to carry weight. If not, the link itself from the article is not worth much.

So that's why people say to write good content.
