Hey guys...

I have Sean's permission to mention my new Lion's blog here on POD, so I hope this doesn't go over the line.  First and foremost, I just want to say that I am a POD member, I love this blog, I will always be a POD member (unless I get banned for my mouth), and I am NOT in any way, shape, or form trying to lead people away from the BEST Lion's blog on the web.  That said, due to the fact that TCLion was banned from SB Nation a little while back (he was reinstated shortly thereafter, thanks to Sean), apparently for "throttle control" (which means he posted the same post on too many SB Nation team sites in quick succession...he was trying to get a poll from every NFL team's fanbases as to whether or not they felt that Jeff Backus was better or worse than their own starting LTs), and because he is my best friend and he had the idea of starting up our own blog, I took the initiative and did just that.

I decided that it would be a good place for me to run my weekly series, The Weekend Spotlight, and just blog about the Lions in general from our perspectives.  TCLion and I are the admin and authors at the site.  I am looking for some people to come over, follow the blog, and provide us with some feedback.  I am also looking for a few solid contributors to give authoring privileges to, so if you are an aspiring writer or if you just want to sound off about the Lions, let us know.  The title of the blog is "The Mane Attraction", and you can reach the site at talknfl.blogspot.com.  There are many options...you can log in with an open ID just to comment, or you can use an open ID to follow the blog.  You can also set up e-mail updates, a CSS, and you can even follow on mobile devices.  The best part about open ID is that you can use a Google account, a Yahoo account, a Facebook account, a Live Journal account, a Wordpress account, a TypePad account, or even an AIM account to log in and comment, or to follow the blog.

I have told a few of our fellow POD members, who are also on Twitter, about the blog.  I asked them to "check it out, join, and comment".  Apparently "join" is a poor choice of words.  What I mean by "join the blog" is to simply become a follower of the blog.  When you go to the page, you will see a link at the top right that says "sign in".  This is NOT where you will click to become a follower.  Below that, there will be a link where you can enter an e-mail address and password to become a follower.  We really need some commenters and some people who will provide us with feedback, so please do me a favor and come see what I am doing!  Thank you for your time.
