    I want YOUR help with a blog that could really take off.

    I'm proud to say that I am about ready to launch a blog about the Seattle Mariners. The only catch is that this blog will not be written by 1 person, the goal is to have a blog written by several people to give different perspectives on the game. The idea is sorta like Bleacher Report, except we'll only have selected people writting these blogs and it will mariners related only.


    I have put up a few blog entries more to show format tha anything else.

    If you are interested in helping with this project let me know. Must have good grammar and know what you are talking about. Those are the only two requirements that I can think of at this time.

    If you're interested, just post here and I can help get you set up with an account. My goal is to make a seperate section on the forum for those who help with the blog and only have it visible to those who do blog work.

    Thanks for reading.

    I would love to be in, but I just don't know how much time I'm going to have to write. I have to write a couple of posts per week for my own site. How much would you need out of me JC. I could probably post once a week or something like that. I do pretty good work, you can read the posts on my forum.

    I'm in if you still want some more writers. I'm somewhat intelligent, lol, but I know baseball.

    Joseph, I have two blog topics in my head that I'd like to run by you for posting. Would you prefer that I write them first for your review, or let you know what my ideas are first? Is there a general word count you're looking for?

    My bad on this whole thing. I'll give anyone who is interested access to post them themselves. I'm in the process of moving it to a safer server, as it is still on the old server where this forum got "PWND" I believe is the term. I should have it done within 48 hours.

    If the offer still stands, I'd be very interested. I was writing on my own blog for a while (megamariner.net) but had a baby and took my talents to South Beach.. wait... Anyways, I've toyed with the idea of writing again, and even started up a wordpress "free version" of megamariner to see if I still wanted to do it. You can see my work here, http://megamariner.wordpress.com/ With that said, finding time to write more than once or twice a week is tough for me. I've always thought it would be great if I could find other people to write with (much like USS, LL, PRO Ball NW etc)

    If this is something you want to get going on a more regular basis, I think between 4-5 of us we could put out some quality content on a regular basis. If not, no hard feelings.

    I am also a very active roto fantasy baseball player. Not sure if your blog would need/want a mariner related fantasy post from time to time, but I have some interesting takes on a few Mariners this year also.

    Go Mariners.

    EDIT: started writting at www.megamariner.net again. I hope to be able to contribute to this blog also.

    The more I look at the blog setup/layout the more it inspires hope that it could become a mariner blog staple. It's very well put together (minus a lack of posts of course) Who designed the blog/graphics? Job well done.
