@Sycorax Is that an Alexei Navalny reference?– Chill2MachtOct 14, 2016 at 18:44

У меня есть блог appears to be the most exact translation. Я веду блог is also an option. The latter variant is even closer to English I have... clause and it sounds natural to Russian, unlike literal translation Я имею блог. Please do not use я имею... in this case.
If your intend to introduce yourself as a blogger in an oral conversation, then just я - блоггер (I'm a blogger) will be OK.

Я веду... is only grammatically closer to I have... than У меня есть..., but semantically it's certainly the other way round.– Andriy MJan 26, 2016 at 10:43

What is a good way to say that you have many followers. Would followers in this case be synonym with: "последователи"?– ЕваJan 26, 2016 at 13:07

@Ева: "Follower" in this sense is more like "подписчик" in Russian. To avoid confusion with the "subscriber" variation of the meaning, however, it seems that Russian language has adopted a transliteration: фолловер. (A Wiktionary entry may not necessarily be an indication of actual adoption of a word, but you will certainly get quite a number of hits if you try googling it.)– Andriy MJan 26, 2016 at 13:30

@Sergey Would it not be enough to just say
У меня блогbecause I learned thatестьalways implies that you carry the actual thing with you. For example your mobile phone or a pen would be withестьbecause you have it with you and vice versa. Jan 28, 2016 at 11:55
To answer by Sergey I'd also add that you'd rather use Я веду блог if you want to imply that you're an active blogger, because У меня есть блог may also mean that you have a blog, but you are not posting actively or even abandoned it.
