All,
In the past many of you have expressed an interest in doing some writing for the site. Even though I am out of the country for the season, I'd like to see us have a semi-organized plan for some content for the group at large, because if I understand correctly, Denny and Sly are on the hook for the last year of our option as the "Blazers' Official Forum".
Bones has already brought up the podcast case, and I thought the ones last year went pretty well. I'd love to see that continue (and to contribute if possible) as a hook for site outreach. We have the talent, the technical chops, the enthusiasm and the medium to make it a great one.
As far as the rest, I intend (if DW is still available for it) to continue with the game threads starting out with DW's artistry and then a pre-game blurb in post Two. By no means do I want there to be a monopoly on either of those--in fact, I'm happy to let the pre-game go to a rotation format if there's enough interest in writing them. If Gramps and MM are still doing their predictions games, we'll make sure they're linked in the pre-game writeup.
I also would like to reinstitute the Power Ranking, perhaps in a different format so that, even though we have something to post and/or talk about, it doesn't die on the vine like 300 other Power Rankings. Suggestions are more than welcome.
Riverman, Mags, KS and BC all contributed some great stuff last year, and all of differing varieties. If you'd like to pony up an idea of yours, by all means--I don't want to squash creativity, even if it's not the cup of tea for everyone. (Newsflash, it won't be.
)
I'd love to hear from everyone--don't be shy about throwing an idea out there even if you don't want to be the one on the hook for it. Feel free to PM if you don't want your great idea stolen by O-Live.
Thanks for the time,
Brian
