I have been thinking about how to categorise the blogs – the list I have come up with to start with is:
- All Blogs
- Animals and Pets
- Business
- Education
- Entertainment
- Family and Home
- Funny
- Health
- Other
- Personal
- Politics
- Recreation
- Shopping
- Society
- Sports
- Technology
Under each category users will be able to see the top blogs for Today, Last 7 Days, Last 30 Days and Last 365 days.
I have decided that we will authorise each blog submitted – so we have a quality gate which will prevent the usual spam/porn/Viagra/ etc. type blogs from being submitted.
One thing I am considering is charging people £1.00 to become members of the site. This isn’t just to do with generating revenue – it also means that I can ensure that they are genuine people and not just trying to spam the system. I need to think about this more – would this put you off from posting a blog? Or would you see it as helping the site in that people will think twice about the blogs they add.
