I am helping someone out who is starting a blog, and he asked for my advice - I thought I"d come here and ask for everyone"s input.
Here"s what he asked me to post
"For a few years already, I wanted to make a Judaism blog geared for teens. recently i searched and found no such blog. therefore I"m seriously thinking of launching this blog in about 3 weeks. I already wrote up several blog posts and they seem OK. I don"t think I"m 100% qualified for this position but because of the times we"re in i feel that this is an important task. "
He could really use your help: a name for the blog; topics; thoughts; what you want to see; advice;
Thanks!

There are plenty of Orthodox teen blogs out there. Eg Words From the Soul http://nechamsblog2.wordpress.com/, Teen Inspiration http://teen-inspiration.blogspot.com/, etc etc etc. I love Inspirational Information http://teen-inspiration.blogspot.com/, even though it's not geared at teens. My blog is Jewish feminist from a teen perspective.
Ah, names for a blog. I'm still not sure I chose the right one for mine. Some of my rejects (this is Jewish feminist-minded):
The Bais Yaakov Underground
Moredet
Magen Sarah
In general, blog titles (quality is not guaranteed):
The Jewish Teen Underground
JTeen
Error 613 (instead of 404 - heh heh, sorry)
Jewmergency
Blessed Art Thou
Kosher
YidTeen/TeenYid
Topics can be inspirational stuff, hashgacha pratis, Shabbos, yom tov, Jewish parodies of stuff, chesed, emunah, davening, etc etc etc.

sorry for not replying for a while.
any way it seems like there really are other blogs. but are there any that are run by a guy? that isnt't reform and one that posts everyday?
A few names i thought up (thoughts?)
E-Hachi-Nami
OnTheDerech
Sweet613
is there really a need for a good true to torah blog out there?

I know there's a male Jewish teen blogger that comments on frumsatire.net sometimes, but I'm too lazy to go through all the comments to try to find him, and I've never actually read the blog, so I can't vouch for quality or if it's updated at all. I just know it exists.
The links I provided are all run by girls, but they're all very much Orthodox, as is my blog.
Few blogs post every day. Blogs that begin by posting daily usually burn out within a month or two, because the blogger runs out of ideas pretty fast. I decided that I would blog twice a week, and I've been blogging over a year now doing that.
I like On the Derech and Sweet613, in that order.
Is there a need? Not so much. But it's such a kiddush Hashem that there's such a proliferation of individuals' Jewish thoughts online, so why not post what you think in a blog?
