There are three reasons why a post might be a personal blogpost instead of a frontpage post:
It’s about a topic we intentionally want to limit discussion on
It’s about a niche topic that’s only interesting to a very small fraction of the LW audience
The author wanted it to not show up on the frontpage
It seems that for all three of those, the reasons, it makes sense to limit visibility. I don’t think there are personal blogposts that don’t fit into any of the above three categories.

What about threads like “Open & Welcome Thread”? I had a bit trouble finding it today.
A way to make these would be to make a second version of the Personal Blog, which shows on the main page.
Or entirely different tag, “Community Post”? Available for trusted members. Though it would probably be the same as “Open Threads” tag.
