If it is so easy to create a blogging application with Django, then
this should be an argument for a standard application, not against it
IMHO.

At minimum, it could become a nice example application, either as part
of the django distribution or as a separate download. And if it is
still easy enough, make it a Wordpress killer. Make it as easy to
install and to use as Wordpress, being an example for the power of
elegance of Django (and Python) - something like Typo or Mephisto for
Rails.

Another important argument for one de-facto standard are plug-ins and
templates. There are zillions of templates (even nice ones) for
Wordpress. And you can add dozens if not hundreds of plugins to
further customize or extend the software.

If everybody is creating his or her own solution, there will not be no
synergy, no community, no   attention. Rails became so popular,
because people *saw* how easy it was to create something. Just telling
them isn't enough :)
