Can you spare a little time helping feed back on a new blog we’re launching?

I saw that Martin tweeted about Charlotte's Next blog post but has the blog officially been launched yet? (I'm guessing not as it's still so well hidden.) I assume that this thread will be moved/dropped when the blog is fully launched and that they're still trying to canvass opinions for now.
I don't think the fact that very few people are responding to this thread is necessarily a sign that the blog can't ever be successful but it does say something. Maybe the Grabbits board isn't the best place for this thread as the blog contains more general tips & tricks as well as the odd few Grabbit style deals (although not necessarily brand new Grabbits which haven't already featured on the Grabbits Board prior to appearing on the blog). Incidentally I think that if people think of the blog as more of a general moneysaving blog rather than specifically a Grabbits-based one they may then feel that the blog works better. Also I do think some people may feel that it's not worth commenting here as their views may be ignored.
I still actually like the idea of this blog but it still has a way to go. Some of the content is not very new. Next has been "secretly" writing coded sale prices on their labels for donkeys years now - surely that secret is already well and truly out of the bag?! Also the Hamleys blog was interesting (the bit detailing which toys were tipped to be big) but telling us we could get them cheaper than Hamleys prices was not exactly news!
I reckon the existing MSE audience is just so savvy that it's going to be a tough job to keep coming up with completely new and novel content all the time, which is another reason why it's so important to think about the look of each post and trying to make it more inspirational/aspirational.
PS Would anyone really take their own tea bags to a coffee shop and ask for a cup of hot water so they could blag a free cuppa? I bet Charlotte didn't try that tip out herself in the name of research! (I know I certainly wouldn't!)0 -

If the Bieber doll shown in the picture (the one that shows the box) is the same one that's sold by Poundworld then I don't think it's "typically about £20 now online". That one is widely available on ebay for around £5 to £8 (plus shipping). That makes it still a good bargain at Poundworld, but not quite as sensational.

There's another one with the same song but a different outfit though, which does sell for around £20.
