Should each blog post be assigned an issue number as to get an unique ID?

It looks like the ISSN would be for the entire blog.

Yup!

Just like how you can identify a specific point in a book using ISBN, chapter/section, and page; you identify a specific point in a serial publication using ISSN, the volume/number of the issue, and page.

The ISBN and ISSN serve the purpose of representing the author, title, and publisher. (And in books, also represents the specific edition.)
