I think it may be necessary a cast there:

writefln("Subscriber tipo G->Name blog: ", (cast(Blog*)b).GetName );

But be careful because the first string can't contain spurious %. D 2.x has write/writeln to solve that (silly) bug.

Anyway, I suggest against this kind of translation, I suggest an incremental way of doing such thing. That is translate a tiny working piece of C++ code, make it work, and then add more and more code, keeping it more or less working... unit tests help a lot. This isn't always possible, but doing otherwise is a good way to put lot of bugs in the translated code.
