Students usually join their blog to the project Planet, e.g. planet.fedoraproject.org. This is part of the transparency of open source. A user page won't work the same way.
I recommend you sign-up at wordpress.com if you can, it's no cost and very easy.

do we really need a blog to show the progress of our GSOC projects or can we use the fedora user page instead of it?

We had a Summer Coding planet at http://planet.fedoraproject.org/summer-coding/ Any plans on reviving that?

Hello
Student should blog what they do with the project weekly, it is a requirement. Further you can use your existing blog with a GSOC tag/ label/ category and aggregate with the plant. However mentioning your blog address would be the least thing at the application process.
Students can start blogging now, how they select topics, about researches, their proposal and anything suitable. This help the transparency and its for records. User page is not suitable.

I believe that it is already active, I see your post there from yesterday. :)
I think any of the students (and mentors and admins) only need to create the proper .planet file on fedorapeople.org. We can add them to the summer-coding group or any other relevant group so they can have a fedorapeople.org account, once the proposal is accepted and in the program for the summer.
Mentors and admins, you can join the summer-coding planet right now. Create a file called '.planet.summer-coding' in your home directory, with this syntax (my own used as an example below):
[FEED] name = FIRST LAST face = URL_TO_IMAGE
pwd /home/fedora/quaid cat ~/.planet.summer-coding [http://iquaid.org/category/summer-coding/feed] name = Karsten Wade face = http://quaid.fedorapeople.org/media/images/quaid_saskia-SCALE8x-96x96.png
