Is this an S-10 Blazer or a K5 Blazer? Big difference. A little more detail about the vehicle will help a lot.

Ok, that's better... Have you checked anything yet? I'd when you're trying to start it are you getting a lot of gas fumes out the tailpipe? Are you getting spark? Gotta be one or the other.

Does it die all at once or start losing power first? Tell us exactly what happens before it dies.

Ive seen vehicles act this way when the catalytic converter/muffler have deteriorated to the point the exhaust is clogged. Easy to check, drop the exhaust loose from the manifold and crank it. (just went through this myself, a little "modification" to the converter and all is well)
