[...] the end of August Bush posted about changing what your’re about. Basically he said your about page should do more than just talk about yourself. Your about page [...]

@G-Newt – Looking back I think I might’ve been thinking one dimensionally about the about page myself. But you know – It’s Sept now so it’s a good time to start over!

I like the idea of changing up the about page. I think you may have just inspired me to do that too! I was thinking about page was about the author but it can be about the website. DOH! :c)

First, I want to say how much I love Chuck. He’s adorable and his site rules. Second, my About page was just rewritten last night and it is purely about me. I’m narcissistic – so sue me.

@Chuck – Ha ha. Everyone appreciates the sincerely and straight fwd response there. And hey, you’re avg’ing 10 new subscribers every week or something anyway right? You’re doing something right!

And I wouldn’t worry too much about the “lack of skills”. A lot of ppl would be willing to help you out, myself included! *thumbs up* (speaking programingwise anyway)

Absolutely. Cutline has been a good theme for keeping me from looking like a joke, and it’s clean and simple. That said, it’s utterly common. I read 10 blogs that look just like mine.

I think my conversion to subscriber rates will go up dramatically when the blog LOOKS better. I don’t want to use a template theme, though.

I lack design skills, and I lack programing skills. I’ve got a friend who is a graphic designer and we’re going to trade skills to help each other out, but she doesn’t know coding either. There’s an solution in sight, but I think it’s a huge weakness right now.

@Chuck – Ha ha. And you raise an interesting thought…

“I think itâ€™s symptomatic of a broader problem with me site: lack of visual interest and distinction.”

Is this something that you’ve struggled with and are you trying to do something about it?

Bush, I forget: Did you want cash or check?

Seriously, thanks for the kind words. You’ve helped keep me going and motivated during the difficult and slow spots.

You’re right about the lack of picture, by the way. I think it’s symptomatic of a broader problem with me site: lack of visual interest and distinction.

Maybe I’ll put up that picture of me and the cat from the morning people post… : )
