Ideas to whet has led Orwell to be a Blogger? there has been a little talk about it, around at the wikis, where I or someone else suggested she might be the "black sheep" in a crime familly deciding to go white or some such, or perhaps she is young woman who has lost her familly to crimminals, in a real Bruce Wayne/Batman manner.
Ideas, thoughts everyone? :D

And how does the Cape guy support himself? Hopefully, his family gets insurance, but he's not with them any more. Does he work with the circus?
The circus team, whose leader is Max Malini, are bank robbers during their spare time ( Source ); so if Max decided to be Vince Faraday's mentor, i presume he will support him financially two.
The resistance fighters in TSCC were thiefs too, though it was not illustrated; i think it was the way Derek knew the jewelry fence. The writers usually give us a brief explanation regarding the money issues because it's not the main plot; how can a crime fighter/superhero fight crime if he spents all his time looking after money ? Though it might be different for The Cape pilot.
According to a summary of the pilot episode revealed during San Diego's Comic-Con : "Fearing execution by the carnival, Faraday bribes Max with his ARK pass-key, which could grant access to almost any bank in Palm City. Accepting the bribe, the carnival engages in a crime spree, resulting in a humorous montage of the of the armed carnival characters robbing ARK-protected banks. With the success of the robberies, Faraday is now accepted by the circus."
I will answer about Orwell later because i got to go the work; sadly, i have no rich mentor to finance my internet activities
What is a "crime-fighting blogger"? How does she fight crime?
sneaking in, taking pics and sound from clandestine dealings between criminals and perhaps supposely good guys, and reveal the sound and pics on her blog
When we heard about The Cape and Orwell in summer, my first thought was that her parents were killed by criminals ("Have you ever dance with the devil by the pale moon light?"). But it looks as though it's not the right explanation. The reason Orwell decided to fight crime is tied to her family though as stated by Summer herself in the video in message #9 (look at 01:22) You can also find me on Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr or Youtube

thanks michelangelo, no need to appologise for, guess it could happen for anyone.
So Orwell´s father did something his darling daughter could not accept, and drew her to do the blogging, could be fun to know if this father knows she is the blogger that might cause him all kinds of trouble, and if he is does, is he one that do, or do not care that she is his daughter, and willing/not willing to punish her Wonders if he is some kind of Mafia man, or some high seated politician that is corrupt.

As stated in other threads, Orwell won't just seat in front of her computer as we all do but she will go on the battlefield herself.

We have an overall picture of Orwell's backstory, even if the details are missing. Another hint from the pilot :
Orwell congratulates The Cape and he asks who Orwell is. She says she is nobody, while she looks on at a photo of herself as a young girl with a man who appears to be her father
More, Summer said that "Orwell has illimited ressources", hence the high tech "penthouse lair" she has ( much like Chloe’s “Watchtower”)
The spoiler comes from a play-by-play summary of the pilot (the one shown at Comic_Con) Pilot summary
There is other hints coming from different articles or interviews (most of them are pointed out at this wiki); spoilers from forthcoming episodes are also available.
