For all the critiques I could make about your webpage, the fact is it is utilitarian and serves its purpose. While your blog was just a small part of your site when you first incorporated it, and has now become the biggest part, your webpage still serves as Brendan Loy’s webpage, with links to pictures, favorite sites, etc.
Now, I suggest that if you’re going to make your blog the primary focus, you should not only relegate the information on the left sidebar to another page, you should also reformat the blog so that it’s easier on the eyes. While I can critique here, I’m afraid I’m not much help with suggestions, so maybe Dane can help, since he seems to have a better talent for recommendations than I do.
Thanks for the complement Andrew. Such things tend to hold true until such a time as a ramble off into incoherent techno babble. :-) Unfortunately, I always seem to kind of ramble off.

I tried to launch a diatribe meself one time. Yes, it was to be the Laconia New Hampshire Diatribal Nation. At the Pow Wow, we’d always just Rant: Live Free or Dia. But They wouldn’t Recognize us. This diabolical refusal was diametrically opposed to the U.S. Constitution & to my Dialup Casino plans. Ugh. Now I’m back in the diaspora.

Funny, I was toying with the idea of suggesting a home page redesign myself. More on this later. :-)

Thumbs down.

“better talent for recommendations”? I don’t know, I never really thought of it that way. I think of it more, as over attention to esoteric details.

But my point is, I don’t have the technical vocabulary or know-how to make concrete recommendations beyond a certain point. You (Dane) do. :-)

Forget the sidebar. When do we get to launch our own diatribes on this site?
