The professor who evaluates your portfolio isn't going to follow a link to your blog, I don't think. You will be uploading all of your evidence to a website, then the professor will evaluate it.
I wanted to be able to break the written narrative down with audio files with majority of the detailed content in the audio files. So maybe a PDF with an outline but a link to the audio portion within the PDF.

I don't think the written narrative is optional. See #4 here: Thomas Edison State University: PLA Self-Assessment Guide
Because of this, I don't think portfolio is a good option for anybody who doesn't like to write. That's just my opinion but I do think enjoying the writing process helps immensely.

What I don't get is that if you can write a script for all these videos, you can certainly write it as a document.
Video would be useful for showing a speech for a communications course, or a performance for a drama or music course. Perhaps a video of a training you developed for an HR course would be useful. There was also a suggestion of an introduction video to help put a human face on your submission.

^^^ Yes. Similarly, in my PLA-200 course one of the students indicated that he'd be using video to show his guitar-playing technique for a guitar course. And wasn't there somebody else here who earned a bunch of portfolio credits for music or piano? I thought she used video for some of that as well.
