Rather than link to your blog, why not contribute to the content of the article itself by expanding the text or uploading images? Article content is always preferred to external links, and blogs are almost always discouraged unless, for example, the blog is written by the subject of the article. (According to the guidelines: "except for a link to a page that is the subject of the article or is an official page of the subject of the article, one should avoid... Links to personal websites, including blogs".) If you think about it, if everyone added a link to their blog whenever they wrote about an encyclopedic topic then Wikipedia would be swamped with external links.
