Going the blog route?

I see that some sports writers have blogs of their own through the newspapers they write for. I thought why not me?

This is my blog: mostly about my personal life with some high school sports stuff in it.

Here's what I'm thinking about regarding a sports-themed blog, in pro-con form:

PROS:
1. It would get thoughts out of my head and onto print.
2. By making thoughts, and directing comments to the message board, it would increase message board traffic.
3. I can have a sports blog, no one else in the Sauk Valley has one.

CONS:
1. My thoughts may decrease the # of posts I make on the message board, and other message boards.
2. I would have to create two seperate blogs: one for sports, and the other for personal stuff.
3. Possible wear about IHSA this and IHSA that - could be considered public enemy No. 1 by them.

I'm seriously thinking about this.
