Icy, people are on supporting this because you are popular. There isn't enough, if any, interesting news on Blockland. If you want people too know your opinions and Nlockland things go make a Blogspot or Tumblr.

Give McTwist a personal huge 2-page interview :P

I'm pursing a career in journalism and I'm interested to explore online blogging as a media, something thats becoming an important part of all newspaper publishers. Any other unrelated gain would be the ability to have my ideas and thoughts heard, something I often try to do.

While I appreciate kind and constructive comments to things, when it comes to the internet praise to me feels pretty hollow and can sometimes be downright embarrassing. If anything, I expect people to get angry at me writing something that could be controversial. I'm sorry to disappoint you, but there is no ego element about it. Admittedly, having my ego stroked occasionally from other things such as movie creation doesn't go unwanted, but on this specific occasion its not the intent. Even more so as I don't want people to try and compliment their way into interviews or corrupt whats published by trying to flatter the writers or I.

I could do that.

As with some community journalism papers IRL, the writer takes the photo themselves.

I've developed something... this is the kind of idea I had. Tell me what you think:

I like this.  Seems a little daunting for a sole contributor, but if you got some more people on board, that could be extremely useful.
