Hi there. I just finished my simple wp theme. I try it to this: http://www.searchcarinsurance.co.cc Please tell me about the colors and all you can suggest me to fix anything there.
I admire your patience and agree with you that 200 word blogs postings are too short to ever be considered authoritative. I usually spend about an hour writing a post and they are usually around 500 words. Unlike you, I really have no long term goals for my blog and to be honest I guess some of my post reflect that. Good luck with achieving your goals.
