One of the things I wanted to implement is user profile blogs. They would let users to host blogs on their profiles for various topics they would like share. I personally may write a few coding/tech blogs/tutorials, opinionated blogs, etc. We have users who like to share off their writing and artistic styles in threads. For the most part, boards and threads work okay with this. However, with tech/coding tutorials, blogs, etc, boards/threads won't be feasible. We would be making boards for all these various topics, and blogs aren't really something you can start a thread over. Blogs can be fun, and I can see users really liking this idea. We have a very opinionated group of users.
However, there are things to consider. One is moderation. Obviously we'll have to moderate these blogs. Users could be posting offensive material. I'm really curious to see what the moderators have to say. I hope that most of our users would responsible and report any offensive blogs. This can ease the job of moderation, but not eliminate it.
Another thing to consider is how many of you will use it? I personally think users will like it and use it a lot, but I may be wrong. As a user, would you guys use it? What kind of things would you write about?
