I would consider changing the part saying "you can't go wrong with an MIT license" since this could be a really bad decision if you want to protect the content of your blog from replication! The newer devs you are targeting with this article may not know this and if they are unsure then "no license / no permission" might be preferable, at least in the beginning.
