Classroom Blogging

Classroom blogging should be fun and easy. In the past, I used a Pow-Pak website tied to my school's website.  The most hits I ever received were generated by the blog question, "Do you think our district should go to school uniforms as our dress code? What color should the uniforms be?"
The students went wild and the blog had 4000 hits in one month!
Sadly, the Pow-Pak package has fallen out of favor. I would prefer using blogpost at this time anyway, because it is more direct and student friendly.
What do I think I can use this blog page for?
1. Discussion topics - asking for student opinions and having them explain their stance on issues
2. Collaborate with students from other middle schools
3. Broaden our knowledge base especially with the other collaborating schools
4. Compile information
5. Post student work and pictures
Does anyone have any other suggestions I could use my blog page for?
