Just had the opportunity to peek at the new blogster and I don't like it! Look at my main page! ugh. It's snazzy looking but...well, so far I can tell, that's it!

Here's my take:

Community and Communities. Capitalize on each community attached to each individual blogger by appropriate links and information so that when one does a google search for anything in Lockport, IL, my blog would show up. It seems to me that that would be relatively simple to implement, without a major overhaul.

Have an internal and/or external collection of data that supports each locale of the individual blogger and have it all cross linked to pump up the google ratings.

Capitalize on other's info just like Topix does with the news but don't just use news, also include city and village info, county info, state info, just tons of relative info to the particular community associated with the individual blogger, and links to those websites to capitalize on the content provided by those sites and that info.

Take the focus OFF "mybloggers" and put the focus on the individual blog and relative content. So, the title tag for each page should include the name of the community such as, "Lockport, IL: Whereabouts Social Blog on MyBloggers" (or whatever). Then have a default of relative 3rd party sites that support "Lockport, IL" that is in the blog frame. Provide footer links that tag "Lockport, IL" to "mybloggers.com/whereabouts".

Topix capitalizes on the news printed by others; mybloggers can capitalize on community content provided by others just as well but simply for another purpose.

factory farming is DEPLORABLE! No living being should ever be subject to such neglect, disrespect, and mistreatment. I went vegan because of factory farming over 14 years ago. A year later, I started eating cheese and eggs again, and about 4 years ago, I started to eat fish again. I'll NEVER eat meat again. Survival is one thing, being a pig-headed ugly glutton is another.

Pigs are so sweet, aren't they? They're also VERY intelligent! I've been a vegghead for 14 years and haven't regretted a single moment of it.

Highlights from bio page:

More highlights of the work of the Citizen's Committee to Clean Up the Courts. Their work in 1969, touched off the biggest judicial bribery scandal in U.S. history,the collapse of Illinois' highest court, the Illinois Supreme Court. As the head of his group, Skolnick directly accused the high court judges of bribery involving a banker who owned a bank right across the street from the high court's Chicago offices. Facing jail and on appeal to their court, the banker, the former Illinois Director of the Department of Revenue, Theodore J.Isaacs, won his criminal appeal by bribing most of the high court judges with stock in his nearby bank. Outraged by Skolnick's direct confrontation with them, the high court judges demanded that Skolnick disclose to the high court judges how he and his associates went about investigating the high court. When Skolnick refused to disclose, the high court judges had Skolnick, a paraplegic invalid in a wheelchair, hauled off to prison for "contempt of court". The imprisoning of Skolnick touched off a public commotion and the chief justice and an associate justice of the high court resigned, and a third accused high court judge suddenly died in the ruckus and Skolnick was vindicated. Caught up in a further mess involving the same bank was the former Illinois Governor by 1969 he was a federal appeals Judge in Chicago. Skolnick accused that judge, Otto Kerner,jr., of bribery as well. Kerner held press conferences and on all the local media called Skolnick a "liar". Despite his denials, Federal Appeals Judge Kerner was prosecuted and sent to prison, the highest level sitting federal judge sent to prison in U.S. history. Also imprisoned was Kerner's crony, former chief state tax collector Isaacs. Kerner died an ex-convict.

The work of Skolnick and his group touched off a series of bribery scandals by which from 1983 to 1993, 20 local judges and forty lawyers were sent to jail for bribery. Including: the Chief Judge of the Traffic court who said Skolnick with his accusations of bribery was "imagining" things. That Chief Judge was sent to prison for bribery and died an ex-convict.
