Either way, I will be submitting a general contact form to Wikia about changing this. I hope so, because they just told me: The reason is likely to be simply that ten is the number the engineers chose when creating the feature. Blogs aren't something we are working on at the moment, and we have not had any other feedback that people have reached the limit, so this isn't something that will change at the moment.

I'm sorry that I went ahead and reported it, I should have just left it up to you, if they had heard it from you, they might have decided to inform the programmers of the limitation and asked about the possibility of raising it.

edit:
 * Well, it appears I was correct. They've replied to the same support ticket noting that they received your ticket, so the request has been passed on to the blog-tzar.

Whether or not any changes will be made is still unknown, of course.

Anyone else who encounters this problem should also use Special:Contact to inform Wikia Staff, because so far they only know of 2 users who have ever hit this limit.

I expect that the majority of people who hit unknown limits like this simply work around it instead of requesting that the limit be raised.

Although I had hit this limit in the past, I didn't even notice it at the time. If I had noticed it, I probably just would have added a single category to all of the effected blog posts via the template that was already in those blog posts.

For example, in your case, Grunni, you could add "Category:Guides", and simply use that in the BlogListing, but since you're not applying the category using a template, that's not an easy solution. (And you said you didn't want to do that.)
