My wife and I have maintained a shared blog since March 2009, over a year before we got married. We are preparing our documents for the I-130 packet, and I had the idea of using the blog as evidence of a bona fide marriage / a real relationship. Could I get a notary public to witness that the blog exists, is evidence of a relationship, and pre-dates the visa application? Is it a useful form of evidence?

Any thoughts are appreciated!

Just alone this, is not a secondary evidence. You need lot of other secondary evidences too. No need to get it notarized.

That's weak. I mean strangers can share a blog, focus on primary evidence like passport stamps, bording passes, etc. Good secondary evidence includes letters, photos, etc

Good luck
