I had a rare opportunity this weekend to watch my father-in-law experience my blog page for the first time. Here are a few things I learned from just watching him.

He couldn't find anything.
He just wanted to read my posts. He wasn't interested in my RSS feeds.
He didn't have any way to see what topics I write about most.
He saw the search option , but didn't know what to search for.

Look for some changes around here as I try to simplify.

Are you too close to something to see what the "normal" person sees?
Find someone who can see it for what it really is... mush... then fix it.
