I came over from problogger. I really enjoyed your posting. I think I need to look at interlinking, thx for pointing that out in your post.

You're right, the title got my attention! Best to you.

I think you are right, and it's easy for me to get sucked into changing the design of my blog or updating and such, when really the content is more important! Great post - we did this project as well - http://lilduckduck.com/arch...

Good list. Your first change is pretty similar to the change I mentioned I would make in my submission.

I also like the advice on finding a mentor. I think that is good advice for every thing you want to excel at.

All the best,
George

Excellent advice, especially the points about seeking out mentors and SEO. You're probably right about staying on topic, but I like the freewheeling approach for some reason. BTW, I think "immortal" was a typo--you must have meant "immoral" or "abnormal". :)

Maybe I'm colored blind.

Renee: Huh? Last template wasn't in any way Navy oriented. ;)

2nd point - No idea what you're talking about. Haha.

And curl? Don't recall.... Sorry :)

Aaron, why did you change your template? Not that this one is "no good", I just like the previous one (navy and centered) better. Or maybe I need to get use to the change.

And speaking of change, I may have to rethink my perception of some "high-flyer" bloggers. As said, not all are as grounded as they "want" to be.

Lastly, sorry about not getting back to you about the "curl" thing. I just have to work my way around this word.

BTW, I love your point #5. It resonates well!

Cheers,

Matthew: For clarity, I didn't say design isn't important. I thuink good thoughtful design and presentation IS important, however, it's not the most important thing in my opinion.

that's the first one I've read that says not to bother about design, which is refreshing. I wonder if more and more RSS will be the future way. I know I would love to increase my RSS readership over time, then you also get juicy Adsense in feeds type opportunities.

Good to see you didn't include "write better headlines" because you've mastered that!

Good post.

Congratulations on your new (as-new) blog!

Honestly, this is the first blog of yours that I've read. Quite impressed already :) There more pressure on "tempering your already bloated ego ..

I particularly liked what you said re "Being confident enough to raise a fuss, but not obnoxious enough to be stupid". I am considering proBlogging and Im sure that these words will serve me great in the future.

Thanks very much!
