I know that the blog disclaims any official representation of Skype, but the wording of many of the blog posts suggests otherwise. I can imagine that this confuses and misleads some readers.
Upon further examination, I realized that you seem to have a script automatically cross-posting service announcements from Skype Heartbeat. If that is the case, shouldn't you more clearly indicate that they are quotes? For example, you could preface such posts with "From the official Heartbeat blog:", include a link, and then put the quoted text within a blockquote.
+1208), # ↑I mistakenly thought that I could always quickly rewrite information and that the notice “Information about this error was published automatically. Soon the information will be reviewed by the administrator” should be enough in order not to mislead users. But your idea is really fantastic and today I will implement it. Thank you very much!
ps. Now only two such posts published on the blog (this one and “Skype Messaging and Group Chat issues”) and soon I will update them too.
