I can see what you mean with the header image now I look at it. I'll have a think about a replacement image. Ian Thanks for the feedback David.

It takes time enough reading others then creating your own posts. All this on top of the day job. I'm sure you'll be letting us know of any updates however. You reminded me to write an article about my recent re-design, so that those reading through RSS readers and email subscriptions would visit. Thanks for your comments Ian. :) If there was just one aspect that could be changed on your site it would be to give it a wider, less-deep header image. One that fills the space rather than one that looks like an after-thought. After that, I'd move the category section to beneath the image of your name in the upper left side. That would immediately tell people what it is you blog about (if it's not indicated in the header image). It'd be a pleasure to help out in any way should you have some questions.

No offense taken. If you had to say which aspect needed most attention, what would it be? I like your site even better after the re-design. It is very clear. Maybe I need to take your comment about using images and photographs to heart. Thanks, Ian. Thanks for the mention David. No offense taken.

So I'll have to go back to the drawing board for now while I work on more pressing things. I do like the button you're using more though.

Paul, your email is only used to let you know about follow-up comments after one you make. There's a check-box beneath each comment box asking if you want to be notified of comments after the one you make. I just activated that plugin recently. Perhaps I should have the check-box unchecked by default? Does it bother you receiving an email when someone makes a comment on the same article you did? No-one else has mentioned it, and you can easily 'manage your subscriptions' through this email (or above if you're on my website now). What you think matters though. Cheers. I hope it works more effectively for you Ben.

I'm going to make the switch - let's see what happens. (if the bigger one will fit in that sidebar.) I'm also wondering if I should put the smaller one after each post if that would encourage people... David – interesting suggestion re: the icon.

Needless to say you've been a Technorati favourite of mine for some time now. Regarding your Technorati icon, maybe it's just me but I prefer the one I use over your slightly smaller version. I think it's because mine mentions Technorati and shows their logo. It would be interesting to know which one is more effective at the end of the day. Why thank you Ben. :)
