But "broken your blog" could mean "shell access to your blog server" -- is there no risk of illegal activities happening on that server that put the owner at risk? Like, I don't know, drug trade or child porn or whatever?

Philosophically: L'État, c'est moi, build your crappy cgi scripts with nginx or apache all from the CLI and all in vim and you will understand.
Practically: Ports 22, 80, and 443 open and directly accessible from 0.0.0.0/0 is extremely manageable.
Anecdotally, I can't remember ever hearing about someone getting in real trouble because their server got popped and someone else used it for crime.
