I read somewhere that changes in your life, like the death of a parent, loss of a job or start of a new job, move to a new home, and so forth, all add up, beyond which there is a tipping point.

Hmmm, maybe you can help. I’m rushing to meet a photographer in exactly 70 minutes – in another city. The call just came. I’m dressed in shorts, unshaven, and the rest. Yes, I feel stressed.

I also have to make a decision on website design changes, and I have a few people thinking this way, and some the opposite. I have my own feelings, which I’ll keep to myself until you see the final product. But I have no time for discussion.

Maybe you can help.

Here, for a couple days only, is a link to a recommended design change to my website and blog (subsequently removed). It is a mock-up only, and the graphic artist was instructed to not finish the task until getting the word from me.

I’d like you to take a quick look at it, and then send me whatever thoughts come into your head. Write whatever you’d like. This isn’t a survey, but is merely private chat among friends.

I’ll have an individual – a professional business strategist who I rely on -- review your letters, sum them up and tell me what’s on your mind. So, trust me, there is no right answer or wrong one; I may accept these website changes or I might not. I simply want to know what you think.

That way, we’ll both decide.

A long time ago, I decided to do this website/blog for you, and it’s going to stay that way. Guaranteed. But I have to know what’s in your thinking.

ADDENDUM

Thank you. I received a couple hundred fairly detailed responses, and the picture is now much clearer.
