Enter so you actually give yourself a deadline for doing your own site, otherwise it is tinker here and a tweak there... Good luck although you won't need it ;) Nice one Matt, see you on May the 1st for some Reboot action, I am looking forward to it and I am of similar thinking… Enter so you actually give yourself a deadline for doing your own site, otherwise it is tinker here and a tweak there…

Since you all probably spend more time looking at and using my site than I do, I want to make sure that what I'm doing is in my readers' best interest. I did a little more work on the site last night and am really happy with the changes I made. I reorganized the header and tightened it all up. Came up with a new navigation and ditched the About blurb all together. It's looking pretty good so far. @Stephen: Good suggestion on the separate feeds. I had actually thought of that myself but am still unsure about it. Hey, thanks for all the feedback and your opinions.

(In fact they've inspired me to buy a console in the near future.) And your idea of having a separate section for these posts is, in my opinion, a mint thought. Maybe not to everyone's tastes but if each review is neatly stored in one place, it would make it ideal for those who want to check out a number of games quickly and efficiently - as opposed to trawling through your archives and post categories to find each one. Believe me, I've done it. :-) I also think it would give your blog (yet another) unique selling point. It's different, unique and after all, people read your blog for (I'm guessing) three reasons: Your design skills Your game reviews Your opinion Why not store them separately for quick reference? You could even offer three different feeds: One for posts One for reviews One for post/reviews Hmm. After writing that, not sure if that would be a good idea or not? Anyway, you asked for feedback so I thought I'd chime in with my 2. ;) Matt, I'm not a gamer but I like reading and love watching your game reviews.
