As said above, the blind does not give information, but it creates a pot worth fighting for and obligates everyone to play more hands than AA. Also in the blinds you obviously have a bit better odds agaisnt a raise because you allready paid part of the call with the blind.

Some players see the blind as something they need to defend, while others see it as something completely apart from that particular hand. They just think: "There are 5 opponents, so every hand I play costs me 1/6th of the total blinds on average. Compared to the stacks this distates to play tight/loose/whatev."

The fact that your blind is out there does not tell anyone anything about your hand. But sometimes it does about your behaviour. If you feel you need to defend your blind people will take advantage of this, because you call with weak hands just because you were in the blinds. So do not see the blind as a bet from yourself, just realise that it slightly changes the odds, since you (or your opponents) have to call a bit less.
