I agree. Fortunately for blogs, we still have an option - make sure your website is accessible via HTTP / port 80. This has the extra advantage that your website will continue to work on older tech that doesn't support these SSL certs. It will even be accessible to retro hardware that couldn't attempt decoding SSL in the first place.
Of course I have modern laptops, but I still fire up my old Pismo PowerMac G3 occasionally to make sure my sites are still working on HTTP, accessible to old hardware, and rendering tolerably on old browsers.
Unfortunately this means that now your pages are available at multiple URLs, one which won't work everywhere - and you have no control over what URL people will share.
