The Future Direction(s) for MoneyEnergy

admin, blog(s) August 3rd, 2008

Well, August is upon us, and although I’m not quite at my three-month mark (that will be on the 19th), I thought I’d see if I can solicit any feedback and comments about the blog. If you’ve been lurking, I’d be happy to hear from you. And even if this is your first time to the blog, or you never stay here very long, or you don’t like some of my posts, or this or that, I’d like to hear from you too (be nice, though!:)).

Some points on which input would be helpful:

  • site layout/design: is this alright? I liked it because it’s a bit different than the usual 3-column blog, and it had a special appeal to me. Should I switch to something more conventional?
  • small technical features: does everything work? is something screwed up in one browser? (there’s been a problem with re-sizing and browsers, and it’s because the columns are fluid, I think. If you know how to fix this, let me know). I promise I’ll try to fix this all up soon.
  • content: while I’m not really a general all-purpose personal finance blog, but have my select topics, are there some topics you are far more interested in than others? or that you’d like to see me cover but I don’t?
  • what works/what you like about the site: general or specific things.
  • how you think this blog can best grow? its particular strengths? weaknesses?

Of course, any other comments and suggestions are welcome, too.
