2. His coat is more of a blouse than mine
3. Facebook needs to be more of a public site to stay relevant when it comes to Google and Twitter.
made more of a mark ---- made a bigger mark than others
is more of a blouse ----- is more like a blouse than mine
be more of a public site----- be more like a public site than Google and Twitter
When " more of a X" is a noun comparison, just like sentence 2 and 3 ( coat is compared with coat, site with site), "more of a X" means "more like a X".
But in sentence 1, "more of a X" is an adjective comparison : she has made more of a mark than other actresses, she and other actresses are being compared, so it means "made a bigger mark".
