I couldn’t, however, find a link to this blog from the main page – is there one there?

I like the header. The words are clear, concise and I know exactly why I’m here to read your blog.

Since you asked, I hope you don’t mind if I make a few suggestions.

In your near right-hand column, you have “Main Site” grouped first. Have you tried that grouping under your photo? I find “Categories” or “Topics” is used so much more than any other way of finding information on my own blog, so I put it as the first way to find info on my left-hand column.

Under categories the “Uncategorized” probably doesn’t get many hits? If you can tag what’s there, do so. I use “Musings” but “Random Thoughts” or some other tag that rouses curiosity might be good.

I put badges (like AllTop) as the last thing in my side bar. When I first started blogging, I thought they were important. Now, everyone seems to have a lot of the same badges. By moving the badges down, then perhaps your “Email Subscription” and the “Latest Newsletter” text blocks will line up side-by-side in the two columns. You want readers to signup.

Can you caption the photo? If so, can you make it clickable to an article about what’s shown in the photo? For example, I’m using my deer resistant garden photo. If folks click it, it brings up all the articles from my blog about that topic.

This looks great!

Have a great day,
