Excellent choice of topic! I think because it is so controversial, there will be lots of people expressing their opinions and therefore lots of information on it. You could look at past trials, current trials, if any laws are being changed, and what people are doing. I'm interested to see what your opinion is! State constitutions (if there is such a thing) or other government papers or state websites would have information on it. It would be interesting to see what states practice it, and what their reasons are behind it- if there are any. It's slightly disturbing, but you could look at the pros and cons of it. Is it an advantage to kill the felons, or is it better to keep them for economic purposes? Actually, it costs money to keep people in jail, so looking into corruption and unfair trials just to get someone off of the budget would be something to look at.
Also, if you are really passionate about the arts, I'm sure there are topics to research. Like, how successful people who major in performing arts become. I was thinking of doing how music affects a student's academic performance before I decided on my topic. That may work for you if you want to pursue it.

Some Thoughts...
While Duck (duct) tape does have many interesting uses, I agree that the topic might not have enough to stick around for several months.
Your "How to get to Broadway" topic does have some interesting potential. I think if you researched many different Broadway actors, you would find many different success stories. There are probably people who could give advice about how to succeed.
Capital Punishment, I would have to agree, is your strongest topic. Since it is very debateable I think you will be able to find information from multiple viewpoints. I think it is okay to limit this to boundaries and limitations, but what would you have this include? Are you going to dicuss whether or not there should be any capital punishment at all? I think this topic will generate a lot of opinions from everyone who reads your blog.

I think that the topic of capitol punishment would be a topic that would have many people interested. I think that it is by far the best choice for you to make as far as advancements over time go. You say that you would denounce the death penalty, but I am interested to find out what you would suggest instead of it. Or, what you feel would be a good boundary for capital punishment to follow. Only certain states allow it and I think that it would be interesting to find out why the states that don't allow it, what their reasoning was in denouncing it. Also, why the states that still allow capital punishment have not abolished it.
By the way, the proper term is duct tape. I think that Duck tape is a brand name.
