I will be adding some other opportunities to navigate as well. They just required more content to be added before making sense, but I believe I am slowly getting there. When I start adding things will I also see if I can get the previous / next links working again.

Thanks for the comments so far. They are most welcome!

PS: Did you get my email about your weekly digest?

There are no next and previous post links, both on single post page views and your blog’s front page. I couldn’t go past the post at the bottom of the list to see what else you’ve written.

Might want to consider adding those so readers can “continue” their first impression to more posts than this one.

The one thing that strikes me about your blog is that is all gray. I am pretty sure it would look at whole lot better if you simply changed the background color into one that compliments gray without being gray It may seem like a small thing, but it would make a world of difference I think.

Also, content still is king, but even the king cannot rule alone. If people come for the content then it will bother them less if everything else is less perfect, but if they just happen to drop by then I do feel that design plays a more prominent role than most are willing to admit.

One thing that I have heard about from others and also start seeing here is that few people read more than one or two pages. The question is why. Is the content not good enough, is the design unappealing or does the navigation simply not allow to find more that they could be interested in?

With a new blog like mine is it harder to experiment, but I will certainly try adding all kinds of design and navigational element later on to see if that makes a difference.
