In both cases those judgments were default judgments because the defendant failed to make an appearance at all. In the case of the haunted mill, for example, the judge ruled a defendant who had also made the haunted claim in a book had not committed libel, but entered a default judgment for the blogger because he or she failed to appear. In both cases if the defendant had actually bothered to appear, the court almost certainly would have ruled in their favor since neither statement rises to the U.S. standard of libel. There's only one case that the Media Law Resource Center says it is aware of a blogger getting sued and actually losing and having to pay damages, and that was clearly a legit case of libel where the idiot posting should have known better -- a man upset with is lawyer over a monetary dispute claimed in his blog that the lawyer was engaged in a bribery scheme with a local judge (http://www.law.com/jsp/article.jsp?id=1173363835339) So unless you're going to be posting maliciously false items about people, libel insurance seems like a waste of money for the average blogger.
