First my vision of the mission statement:

We, the authors of The Super User Blog created and maintain this blog to the purpose of:

 

First and foremost, to bring a broader audience to the Stack Exchange sites through diversifying the content presented to the internet world. Our main goal is to encourage YOU to become more active at Super User and other Stack Exchange sites through the content that we present here.

 

As an extension of the Super User main site, we elaborate on questions and answers that are more difficult to address fully on the main site through product reviews, in-depth how to guides, and general Stack Exchange site practices.

 

Finally, we make sure to bring the same fun, spirit that is abundantly found within the Super User site. We encourage the freedom of teaching and learning for all, while enjoying that process.

 

We the authors of Super User Blog are a community, the community of Super Users. We the authors of the Super User Blog, are you.

Second answers to your questions:

Should we continue doing random posts about all kinds of stuff, pretty much like we're doing right now?

YES! I love doing those posts, and enjoy having the freedom to have a little bit of 'techie fun' while learning.

Should the Blog "replace" some of the Community Faqs so the posts can be referenced to in your answers?

Absolutely not! Community FAQ's are there to be order to Super User through connection of multiple questions. While a user may have one question, through using the communitty FAQ he/she might find an answer to a completely different question they didn't even know they had.

Should we attract external visitors mainly and make the Blog a Blog by Super Users for the world to read? Or should we just keep it internally mainly?

I thought that this should be a pivotal part of what we should do. After asking on MSO I now disagree. "If we Blog it, they will come." (as has been seen recently) This doesn't mean we don't go out of our way to share with those that are around us, including the big leaguers, but this shouldn't be a focus of the blog.
