HTTPS on a blog does nothing.

It does nothing now. There used to be ISPs who injected ads into web pages as an additional revenue stream. This stopped being a viable strategy precisely because browsers forced a transition to HTTPS.

Also your ISP doesn't get to see the URL under HTTPS. They get to see the IP address and SNI if not encrypted. This may reveal the blog if the blog is not behind cloudflare etc.
