I started my blog around a month ago and I was interested in hearing what people had to say.  Are people impressed with some of the things I have written?  Are people depressed with some of the thins I have written?  I have been trying to focus on helping people feel empowered and that they can achieve their goals, while giving some advice and insights along the way.  Am I close?  If you have anything to say, just comment on the posts, that would be great.  I`m trying to build this up to really help people move way from looking at problems and working in the traditional way because I think that that is very important.  But, you should see all that at trailblogging.com.

1) Your head title is too long on my screen and it wraps oddly. Send me a PM if you want a screenshot.

2) I`m not sure what your focus is. There`s a title, but I`m not sure the posts match the title. Who are you trying to reach and what is the focus of the site?

I had the same problem with the title that Nikole had.

I also don`t quite understand your focus. Your few posts on blogs
seemed to be about blogging, not entrepreneurship and innovation
(though I know blogs can support those). The story about your Fiji trip
had no purpose or point that I could find. And personally for me, the title
"multiplication economics" was a turn off so I didn`t read that post.

I love reading about innovation and entrepreneurship, but I didn`t see
much of interest here. I`m not saying what you wrote is bad, not at all.
But I didn`t get a clear understanding of what the blog is about. I think it
lacks a clear focus.

I also don`t like how the date, tags and credit is between the headline and
body. I`d like to read a headline, then the body. I think this current
format is kind of awkward.

My first blog was a jumble of subjects and a mess. I really struggled with
it until I found my specific niche. It took me some time to figure it out.
You`ll get there.

If you want feedback, add the option to the bottom of your articles. Right? That way you`ll know from people who`ve read the articles, each one-by-one, their thinking. My thought on it, anyway....

Keep up the good works and lastly, please be informed that the MESSIAH is on HIS WAY coming. Please, let us all be prepared so that HIS COMING  doesn`t catch us unawares.

It`s not that I`m knowledgeable on everything. I actually don`t know all that much about anything. It`s that I enjoy looking at the *logic* of any given situation and exploring where it would normally go.

I always admired Johnny Carson tremendously. He was a sort of generalist, with a lot of curiosity, and read all the time. He knew enough about so many things he could ask questions to bring out more specific information. From there, he chose to move into the comic results of the logic. I do like that, but I try to move toward the realistic----what would happen if these premises really existed in the world.

Thanks for the compliment, though. :-)

Hey, thanks a lot, I do appreciate the feedback.

nhgnikole - Thanks for the heads up with the title, I had never seen that!

CampSteve - Good idea with the date, tags and credit, maybe I`ll try that.  The Fiji post was off-topic as a way to garner some links - some people are setting up contests/reviews to get links for themselves and link to other blogs.

CraigL - Yeah, comments are there, but I hadn`t heard much from them so I decided to use some outside sources.
