I think I have just the right place for the intro you are suggesting. I will add it to my list of things to add shortly. Aaron - Thanks for the compliment!

I popped in today and was like ... "wow!". Good first impression to create. I really like the sidebar improvement with more great info and links arranged well. Nice and clean. I wouldn't mind ... and also consider first time visitors ... seeing a one or two sentence intro on the home above the main post. Give a snapshot of what you offer here. Yo have it in the page title, but don't depend on the user to read up there. :) Great job Char. Char- Kudos to you for the new look. I popped in today and was like … “wow!”.

There always seems to be something else to do. David - The popularity plugin has been installed, and I do plan on adding the most popular posts to the sidebar. Actually I have about 8 more things to add to the sidebar/footer and a handful of static pages. Everyone - thanks for the suggestions, kind words, and just for stopping in! Even though I can see the faces from MBL again, I love comments even more. Yvonne - it is very hard as a designer to leave one’s own stuff alone. There always seems to be something else to do.

I really like your customisation so far. A couple of suggestions: Add a most popular posts section so your older posts don't get buried in your archives. Incorporate the 'technorati favourites' button somewhere above the fold. Keep up the great work!! David Nice work Char!

I look forward to seeing the finished product. Is a web design ever really finished if you are a designer?I imagine there must be an ongoing temptation to "tweak". LOL Yvonne Hi Char

I am trying to pull my main portfolio site (www.keystrokes.net) together with my blog - thus the type. However, I do agree with you a bit and may play around with it some more.
