Just take a look at the home page of the site in question.

http://britishwaterwaysfitforpurpose.blogspot.com/

What do you see?

Top right, two options -- "Create blog", and "Sign in"

Bottom left -- "Subscribe to ..."

Those are what the first-time visitor sees, and thus what he may
legitimately think he is expected to choose among.

As to policy and identification on such sites, I just looked up Joanna
Bogle (because I was so astounded by her ignorance concerning
population and sexuality, as revealed on Today this morning).  Have a
look at her site:

http://joannabogle.blogspot.com/

Top of the page, front and centre, a statement saying who she is, what
she does, and the slant of her site.  Immediately below right, a
description of her (plus a picture of the Pope, but there you go).  

That's what I look for.  I don't want to have to open the tin to find
out what is in it -- I want there to be a nice clear label.  Of
course, I won't be opening Joanna's tin either ...
