I think a separate webring for blogs would lead to unnecessary fragmentation but I agree with the idea of moving beyond the denpa video log format. Tomatoes are still fine and all but cucumbers are cool, we should plant some of those too. I used to have my own website but let it languish because I didn't feel like working on it by myself. I longed for a collaborative project to take some of the weight of having to control every aspect of a project by myself. I don't have anything concrete in mind at this time but I'd be willing to contribute to a webzine or perhaps a guest article on someone else's blog. I was about to go bed hopefully I'll dream up some good ideas.
