It would be difficult to replace the originator. I'm reminded of those attempts to provide sequels to famous novels : Gone With the Wind, Pride and Prejudice, the James Bond stable, they've all been attempted with very limited success. I think some of the newer commercial blog networks that are essentially group blogs, with a variety of guest bloggers, could be successfully sold on, provided the new owner subscribed to the prevailing methodology, or bettered it. These are different animals though to what we normally think of as a blog : a projection of the consciousness of an originative intellectual worker. Try replacing Seth Godin, for example, or Dave Winer at Scripting News. It's horses for courses. Sure, many blogs ~ and ProBlogger is one of them ~ are extensions of the blogger’s mind.
