Just a few suggestions, not criticisms!

I'm not much of a blogger myself, but several forums I go to have recently implemented a fancier private profile that lets the user create blog entries and also lets other users publically comment on that users profile. (Seperately from the PM system)
It really seems to boost traffic and peoples interest in their profiles and going to the forum, so maybe it'd be possible to do that here too?
On another note in the same ballpark, it might be fun to get an "interests" section so people can write what their interests are, the only real place to do that now is the signature, which is a bit silly.
