The Powers That Be have bestowed upon us a new feature: Stack Exchange community blogs. There's also a Stack Exchange blog post about it.
I think a blog for the English Language & Usage site is a great idea. We could use it to:
- Provide hints and tips to users on how to write better answers
- Provide long-form commentary on topics related to EL&U questions
- Anything else you can think of
We have a unique voice on the internet—Language Log-style rational analysis of a descriptivist tilt with a focus on practical advice, and think we have some useful contributions we could make to the blogosphere. I think a somewhat expansive scope, with topics specific to our site as well as general English Language and Usage topics, would be best.
Answer here if you have any ideas on
- Blog topic and scope
- Topics for posts you would like to write
