When running @command{guix pull}, Guix will first compile the
definitions of every available package. This is an expensive operation
for which substitutes (@pxref{Substitutes}) may be available. The
following snippet in @file{channels.scm} will ensure that @command{guix
pull} uses the latest commit with available substitutes for the package
definitions: this is done by querying the continuous integration
server at @url{https://ci.guix.gnu.org}.

Note that this does not mean that all the packages that you will
install after running @command{guix pull} will have available
substitutes. It only ensures that @command{guix pull} will not try to
compile package definitions. This is particularly useful when using
machines with limited resources.

To sum up, yes, you could use your channel as a blog. But beware, this
