I think you’re on the right track, but making it more complicated than it needs to be. If this is strictly for the home blog, you can try…

bp_is_blog_page() which will return true anytime “/blog” is the current BP component.

Check bp-core-templatetags.php for a complete list of all functions that will help you narrow down which BP page it is that your users are looking at.

Then rather than check every other possible function, you can just check one or the other?
