Gerard, really good point, that is true, of course we didn't know what would be popular before we published it. I hope we're not being to hard on ourselves or hold us back. It is all about creativity and our self expression of ideas. Frank, I agree, we do need to follow up on our ongoing themes. In fact, I have to write part two to this post, about our blog strategy moving forward. A B+ isn't too bad for our first 6 months, and we'll be shooting for the A+ in the next 6 months. Chris Thanks for your comments guys.

For the most part your site is well blogged, Id say. If I was a professor in Blogonomics 101, I would give you a solid B+. One suggestion I would have as a return blog viewer is to try and run updates on previous blogs. For example, you never filled us in on how the Netflix thing worked out for you, or updated us on the C v B challenge. A man much wiser than me once told me "A blog is still a blog even if its blogging on something youve blogged on before." Anyway, keep up the good work. BLOG ON!

Don't let those answers hold you back too much though. Did you know the top 5 posts would be the most popular before you published them?
