Default Start up a 5M.net Blog on TGWTG?

It's a given that we need more exposure. It occurred to me that we could post a different fiver each and every day over at TGWTG, along with the link to the main site and our forums.

You need to be a member at TGWTG to post blogs. If we deem this to be good idea, I wouldn't want to create a "Nate the Great" account or similar, it would look like I was just showboating.

Would a few of you be up to sharing a TGWTG account ("Fiveminute.net" or somesuch) and divvying up the workload of posting the new fivers, responding to comments, etc?

We would probably use the Random Fiver Generator to choose the daily fiver:

http://www.webpages.ttu.edu/jonray/r...andomfiver.php

That way all series and fivists would have equal exposure, and it would assure people that we're not just about Voyager (or even Star Trek in general, as not everyone (gasp!) is a Trekkie). Furthermore, with a list of the month's fivers set up in advance it will involve minimal effort for one of us to update the blog.

Opinions?
