As above.
When things go a bit stale, I sometimes sniff around the more amateur sides of the internet, in-private browsing aside, and read blogs. Not the long and boring ones, but there's quite a few out there to meet different types of spurs 'news'.
For example, you can read about the youth sides with Windy's blog (quite well known), then there's Dear Mr Levy (which I believe is one of the guys who runs the fighting cock?) and a few others besides.
There's also a few weapons out there. One more famous one has with a seemingly opaque view on being a tottenham fan, ranging from supporting the subborn kebabery supplier on paxton road, to seemingly having a vendetta against the ownership. I'm sure we know that one too.
Anyway, reason I ask is that there's a completely opposite type of person who survive on a forum to one that can create a successful blog. It seems like you have to be really opinionated to run a blog, as your 'articles' have to be worth reading and thus stand up on their own accounts (after all, why read an article that doesn't commit to a side of the story - less appealing on some level?). It seems to me that if you were to be that kind of guy on a forum, especially this one, you'd last about 5 mins.
Are there many (or any) regular posters on here that are bloggers too? I guess we'll have nearly all the bloggers lurking in some form, least of all to get the material, but do any post often on here or elsewhere?
