Please offer any feedback about the design and/or idea of a blog being at the core of my site.

I like that it looks like Mac OS.

But you have to consider your audience. Who are you tryin to tap into? Some of these topics are more advanced than others.

It`s a fine Mac blog.  Is the blog supposed to be supportive of your consulting?  You mention it being the core of your site, as if it is a marketing strategy for more consulting jobs.  That`s all fine and good, but then I don`t think the site supports it.  Mac tips are great and it shows you know what your are talking about.  But how do I know I need a consultant?  Even if I did and I came across your site, I would hardly know you offered consulting.  It just looks like a blog.

Thanks Nikole, CampSteve.

My clients do have a broad range of technical savvy. So, my posts also have that broad range. I`ve attempted to categorize posts to help folks, but maybe I need to re-visit my categories.

The site is meant to support both my existing clients, as well as encourage new clients. I do have the "Consulting Services" button on the side panel, but perhaps that is not highlighted enough for folks to easily see.

I`m a huge fan of opensource software and the community that surrounds it. This is why I approach the distribution of information, help, guides, etc. in the way that I do. The bulk of my consulting is at a higher, more sophisticated technical level. I`m happy to provide free information and help to folks who wish to raise their technical savvy.

Thank you both for the feedback. SUN is a great community!
