Research direction
Start by reviewing the current Node.js homepage navigation and the /en/blog/ pages, along with the linked Medium blog. Confirm where blog and changelog links are maintained and whether the proposed destinations are still current. Done would mean clearly separated Blog and Changelog destinations with an easy-to-find Blog link.

Description
I don't know where to put a suggestion so I apologise in advance and feel free to move this issue.
The NodeJS blog is a bit messy, and I wanted to raise it and share the scenario some of us go through. I mentioned some of this in the survey also.
The official blog is still linked to https://nodejs.org/en/blog/ but as you can see this isn't really a blog, this is a list of release notes. It's titled "News" but to be honest I wouldn't even call it that, it's just a changelog. There are useful blog posts intermixed with the changelog such as https://nodejs.org/en/blog/vulnerability/jan-2018-spectre-meltdown/.
So to get around this I understand there is a new blog for Node on Medium https://nodejs.medium.com/ (I'm assuming this is now the official one). The issue is it took me a long time to find this, nothing links to it. Googling "Node[js] Blog" brings me here https://nodejs.org/en/blog/ and the medium result is near the bottom of the page.
Possible approach:
- The Blog and the changelog need to be separated, rename News to Changelog and continue doing what you do there.
- Any Blog link on the website should point to medium, this should help bring that higher when users are searching for the node blog.
- Add the Blog link as a top level navigation item to the website https://nodejs.org/en/ so its easier to find
- Remove "News" so now there's "Changelog" and "Blog"
