How about ‘top 10 favorite blogs’ or ‘top 10 reasons you blog’? I’d love to get an insight of people whom i read on a regular basis.

Honestly, I’m afraid to contact them at all for fear it will raise a red flag and they will scrutinize my sites much more than if I wouldn’t have contacted them. I try to minimize contact and stay within the rules. Paranoid? perhaps. :)

How about covering the technical aspects of blogging. Web hosting, blogging platforms, themes, plugins, 3rd party software, etc…

How about personal versus business blogging? I don't mean this as an afront to either genre, of course. But I think it would be interesting to typify the genres and talk about the social norms of bloggers in each group. For example, I run a consultant blog and this means I have to present myself in the same manner that I might at a networking event, business meeting or other professional situation. However, I still have to come across as a real person and not as some stiff who writes whitepapers. In comparison, the writer of a personal blog can do things like talk about their weekend hitting the clubs, their toddler's recent tantrums, their acne woes and their favourite music. This is equally valid (and perhaps more human) writing, but it is of a different genre. And some personal bloggers may see business bloggers as simply ripping off a good content management tool. Anyway, I thought this might be an interesting project. (Could always be a subproject elsewhere in the community, I imagine.)
