If the blog site is outside the jurisdiction (and outside the EU, e.g in the US) I understand that nothing can be done really. This is how www.rate-your-solicitor.com manages to steer clear of trouble.
I've read that you're ok if you say "W is reporting that Mr X did Y to Mr Z". However, as other have stated this areas a minefield. When in doubt, say nowt!

This isn't true. If you report that someone else has reported an incident, and somebody is libelled out of it, you are just as culpabale. You have to be able to stand over what was said, even if you weren't the first to say it.
If the publisher (the wesbite and also the hosting company) is outside the jurisdiction, then fair enough, it can't be sued.
True if the author can be identified without doubt. If I post something and deny it, it is nearly impossible to prove it was me, especially if the access logs etc (ie evidence) are in another jurisdiction.But if the author is identifiable and located within the jurisdiction, then s/he can be sued, no matter where the publisher is located.
Are you sure?
Say you state on your website that X is a fraudster.
Then I report on my website that RIAD_BSC is claiming that X is a fraudster.
Logically, how can I be culpable? What I've reported is factual. I haven't commented on the accuracy of the allegation made by you. I've merely reported that an allegation has been made by you (which is the case).
