Quite simple really. SteveC started to blog about setting up OSM from the outset in August 2004. At the time of course Steve was OSM, period. OpenGeodata.org has always been as far as I recall " .a blog about open maps, geographical data and openstreetmap" The growing OSM community never created an alternative "announcement" type blog but many contributors started their own blogs about there lives and OSM as well as the User Diaries acting as a personal blog space for all. So the connection is simply that Steve created OSM and the blog around the same time and the two have been hand in hand ever since. If you want to understand the history of OSM then a browse through the openstreetmap tagged entries at OpenGeodata.org is a great way to start.
