If you need any help configuring the theme, definitely let me know and I’ll help if I can. I really like the theme myself, except everything was in German

I had to spend a good 3-4 hours with an online translator changing everything to English. haha!

I enjoyed the post mostly because I’m going through a similar “site redesign” both in the area of topical focus and overall site look and feel. As for trying to be unique, I don’t think you need to worry too much about that. Unique is not completely about topic but also about your voice and presentation of material. If everything had to be unique, then there would only be one of everything out there. If you believe your voice and presentation on a topic is unique, then go ahead and write about something that everyone else seems to be writing.

As for suggestions for improvement, I like the design and flow of your site but have a personal preference for the link to add comments at the bottom of the post. I’m usually compelled to comment on a post once I’ve finished reading it. Therefore I don’t find it intuitive to have to scroll back to the top of a post to find the comment link. I like to find it at the bottom of the post where I normally find myself when I’ve finished reading it. Other than that, I think you’ve got a good blog. I’ve bookmarked it and plan to return on a routine basis. Keep up the good work.

Nice, I’d be looking forward to the real-world-experience references, those are always good and give your blog truly unique content.

As for too many ad blocks – an interesting trick is to serve up extras for certain referrers (say just for SE traffic), while any regular readers always see just the cleaner version.

Thank you both for the kind words. Hopefully you’ll find a lot of our content worthwhile for reading. We’ve only been at it a month so far, so there is plenty more to come

First time commenter/reader. Congrats on one month. After strolling through your archives, I must say that I’m impressed. The writing is fluid, insightful, and, most importantly, thought provoking. Good job! You’ve made a reader out of me.
