Hi Dave,
I have a quick suggestion for you vis-a-vis ‘Best of Kellblog’:
Instead of listing just short titles of the posts above, can you not also include a brief description (and/or, may be, tags) corresponding to each post?
That way, readers (myself included) would be able to judge the topic of each post more accurately and can quickly get to the ones of their interest.
I truly value (and enjoy) reading this blog but since you write on many; fairly diverse topics, I’m sure implementing something like what I’ve suggested above would be quite useful (not just to me but to many others also, I’m sure).
Nice idea. Might help with SEO as well to be honest.
Also, Dave, the post (link) above with the title:
How To Develop A Marketing Message
returns your custom ‘Page not found’ (404 error) page – I guess you might want to fix that.
Thanks, fixed.
