No! GDPR is about personal data, which is well defined in the regulations and does not include blog posts. The right to delete data (or "be forgotten") is nothing to do with GDPR. If the original post contained personal data, it is a different issue but if that was put out into the public domain, it is a hard problem to solve.

What if the blog post contains personal data?

Most pages have an author section already.

So add some "personal data" to the end of anything you might want to demand someone forget later.

Or you could send a good ol' DMCA takedown request.

I'm not sure where this idea that nothing could be forced off the web before the GDPR came from.

No, if you intentionally made that data public then it's done. GDPR doesn't, say, force you to remove political views of Theresa May from newspapers, despite that being covered by personal data, because Theresa May made those views public.

So if was subject to the GPDR, and published my nginx logs in real time, I could stop worrying about scrubbing "personal" data from them on request?
