Psyling,

Thanks for the comments. What does this do and how would I do it:

1. make the link to your site target=_blank

Ajay,

Thanx so much for your genorous and constructive ctitique!

Content:
I’m still reluctant to alter the length of content. I want each post to be a self-contained article for future reference but the consensus of opinion is against what I’m doing as far as length!

Header and Background Image:
I’m still trying to figure out what I want to put as my header image. What I’m using is a unique image that I want to use but it was not made to be stretched like I’m doing. My background image I also want to use but it was meant to be tiled as a windows background and probably not coming off well here.

Color Background:
I definitally went overboard on colors. I went with a theme extension (“Weaver”) that gives me way too much control without really knowing what I’m doing. I’m at least going to get rid of the yellow text background while I explore my color scheme. Thanks.

Home Page:
What I want to do is come up with a home page/menu listing the topics/posts but I haven’t quite figured out how I want to do that yet. What I’m doing now is just bringing up the one most recent post but it doesn’t have an redirect at the bottom and it’s already scrolled past the sidebar.

First/Third Person:
I have my first and third person formats all mixed up. I’m trying to offer objective descriptions but include my personal opinions as well. I need to clarify my writing style.

Gallery:
I’m not quite sure I understand how to implement the photo gallery concept but it is something I need to explore. Thanks.

Thanks for that information but it seems like a user can just type a word in the search box and put it up as quick as the tags or categories. Is the idea for the words to be there in the sidebar menu as a quick visual link? Do tags and categories get picked up by search engines any differently than when the words show up in the text?
