Opinion piece ideas (Canon Fodder)

Black/white photos of me and other columnists? Top art: white space pops over top as edge of charred burned paper on top of colorful art? Feature artwork of Chris ___? Post topics: Reviews, reveals, great finds, toyshop tours, 3rd party product news and interviews, interview creator of he-man, other celebrities. Ask famous people to review figures? Gather impressions by Toyguru, Horsemen, Etc.? Make Blog into a trendy Seattle Weekly type of stylish posh news blog? Highest quality copy: Big names, big things, fresh info, inside info. Write out goals for this blog: * Possible to add tagging to this blog? Pretty important! (Reviews, Customizing, News, POP, etc.) * What do readers want to know?: When was this figure released? What new tooling is there? What are Mattel's thoughts about this figure? Pixel Dan's? Toyguru? Etc.? Add quotes that link to the source. * Research information people may not know about this figure. * Intense, interesting, head-turning, thinking photos. * Don't hammer people with info they already know, but don't assume they know everything. * Find other blog tips. Optimize for social networking. Think about getting a toysatan@gmail.com E-mail. RSS and all that. Opinion pieces (Catchy title with "Canon" in it, play on words with cannon, "Canon Fodder"). * Finish custom projects before someone esle does! Get out all of the bags, find the dremmel.
