I admit that I still have work to do, and your offer is much appreciated. I wanted to learn some PHP and CSS so I could fiddle with the blog to make it better. I need to do something to highlight the Recent Posts section in the sidebar. I agree it is not a blog without being able to find those. I moved it to the sidebar, because I like to see it on other people's blogs. I go there more than the archives. I did use a lot of real estate for the RSS , but then again real estate is my business ;) I went overboard, and I am planning on deleting several. Thanks for bringing it up. I need to do it sooner rather than later. Maybe I will be in touch about that clicking on the title, if I cannot figure it out. About five percent are from Mobile devices, but this number has been increasing the past few months. Braden, it is great to see you here!

I can certainly understand that you want it to be easy for people to find your professional information and that you probably get most of your visitors from Google and that a lot of people are looking for specific information through searching or categories, but it just doesn't feel like a blog to me unless there's some way to view recent posts. Also, I imagine that most people who use an RSS reader have their browser configured to automatically add the feed to their reader when they click the syndication icon in their location bar. Maybe I'm off base on that, but you're devoting a <i>lot</i> of, heh, real estate to debatably useful RSS links. I like this theme, though. Feel free to drop me a line if you have any questions about HTML/CSS/PHP--they're my bread and butter. Just a few suggestions:
