And Welcome Clive.. You very much hit the nail on the head for my concerns with the project. I fear that there will be a myriad of unfinished/abandoned blogs. To that end I would likely put some sort of visitation counter on it so that if after a time (a year or something) if no one comes to it, just delete it. I really like the idea of users having a place where they can talk about what they are doing in a blog sort of way.. And while some would be worthless, those few that aren't would be great!

I've looked for fan film blogs for ages, and most are abandoned efforts that detail the beginnings of equally abandoned fan productions. I really wanted a news source about all fan flicks, and that's what led me to start my own fan film blog, fancinematoday.com. If you take this direction, I hope it gets a solid following 'cause I'd love to see some more fan film bloggers (fflogers?) out there besides myself.

I have a forum I go to that has a journaling and blog area that is accessed through the main page of the forum. Each person can set up their own blog or "journal" and put whatever they would like/want in it...as well as others being able to comment in it. More people use the journal area than the blog area. The difference in the two is the full blog you don't have to be a member of the forum to write, read or comment. For the "journaling" area, you have to be a member to write, read or comment in that area. If you didn't want to do a blog, you could do an unmoderated journal area. Basically same thing as a blog but they have to use the forum to get to the journal area. I actually think that is a really good idea to do a blog area!
