Great points…I would note that as someone who really doesn’t write on blogs much (in fact, this may be my first post), I don’t think the term “lurker” is very becoming to a non-posting reader. It’s not your fault really , but perhaps the blogosphere could come up with a better, non-creepy name for the 90% of us that enjoy just reading the content .

I just happen to stumble to this blog and it is a properly written read, a little on the short side, but a pretty acceptable one.
I very much like the layout too, it is altogether very simple to navigate.

Really like the layout and navigation of the blog, easy on the eyes and nicely put together.
a lot of other sites are way too overflowing with advertisements
