Patrick CurlHey,
I’m not really a hotshot blogger, in fact I’m quite the opposite.
I don’t believe I have all the answers, or that I’m all that special. I do have confidence though in what I’m saying, and I know it works.
I believe humility is an important characteristic to encompass, and I know I’m not the perfect person yet. Which is why I am asking you, my readers the following questions:
What would you like to see on this blog?
What would you change about this blog?
What suggestions do you have for this blog?
Ultimately do you enjoy this blog, or do you think I’m full of fluff?
I have been told that the ads are a little excessive - but right now I’m just testing a bunch to see which ones I’m going to keep, then I’ll dial it down a lot.
I’m probably opening a can of worms here, but I know I have a lot of room to grow - and I’m not one to think I’m better than anyone.
One other question: Do you think I should start a podcast - and blog about the results of using podcasts on blogs?
I’d like to thank all of you who comment on this post, in advance - you are really what makes blogging such a fun / important part of my life.

I find that you have some unique ideas which is refreshing. I’m not sure that they’re all a good idea but without experimenting you’ll never know.
I would suggest you move your Leave Comment link to the bottom of the post. You could also leave it where it is and add a 2nd at the bottom. I decide whether to comment once I’ve read a post. I don’t like having to scroll back up.
I find the layout too busy. I think there are a few too many ads or at least too many flashy/animated ones. I’d pick 3-4 social media sites or use a popup or separate page. 15 social media icons seems a bit much. I also think the ContentLink double underlines with popups add to they busyness.
I know podcasts are hot now. Honestly I prefer text so I can scan. Audio is Ok if it’s something I can listen to while I’m working or doing something else.
