About a year-and-a-half ago I started this blog as a way to get out various rants and ideas I couldn’t share on our family blog. In that time, I’ve really only redesigned my blog once–when I made the transition from Blogger to WordPress about a year ago.

Now, it’s time to refine the design, architecture and approach again through a different lens: As a small business owner.

To get things started, I’ve asked blog guru, Matt Cheuvront, to give me “5 Amazing Minutes” (his words) and ideas on what I can do better and more effectively on my blog. You can also get a glimpse on his thoughts on a number of other blogs in this 5 Amazing Minutes series (great idea, by the way; I may be asking Matt to help me with my redesign in the weeks ahead).

Now, I’d like your thoughts. From a reader point of view. From a potential client point of view. Or, even just your general impressions and thoughts on how I could improve this space. Lemme have it. I’d really value your input. Honestly.
