• Alphabetical Labels

The labels on the left side of my blog were listed by frequency and visitors would occasionally click on a few of them to read more. However, I feel that listing my labels alphabetically may be more suitable for my target audience than a list by frequency. I still list labels by frequency further down on the left, but listing tags in alphabetical order makes it a lot easier to find what you're looking for. I'm already noticing a few more clicks in my site log thanks to this change. Like every other new idea I've had for my blog, we'll see how it goes.

I'm still not completely satisfied with my fonts. One day I might change my layout to a white background with a cleaner look. The problem is, MSIE 6.0 makes everything look ugly.

• I am still writing

I'm still working on a couple of new posts. I'm currently trying to make the adjustment to Michigan, so things related to my blog are a little delayed. I'm still unpacking and fixing up my living arrangements.

• Edited My Line Post

I edited the post on My Line. I forgot to mention what other lines I'll be trying out in the future. I also need to remember that people need to know I'm using my line on casting reels, not spinning reels.

• Edited Brush Hogs & P-Line Halo

I edited the post on brush hogs after using them with a Gamakatsu Jobee Pro hook. I also edited the P-Line Halo post because someone posted a comment about their experience with the line on a spinning reel. Fluorocarbon on spinning reels has a steeper learning curve and a few members on the BPS forums actually are talking about fluoro on spinning reels in a new thread.

• Font & Color Overhaul

I decided to test the readability of my page by changing the font and a few colors. I'm not sure what it looks like on IE, but let me know if there are any issues. Not all of us have 20/20 vision and some colors do blend well while others clash horribly. I got the feeling my previous font and color scheme was a little hard to read. Of course, I'm a Firefox and Safari user, so what I see isn't necessarily what you see. Visit the blog and come back here to post some feedback.

Thanks

• Movin' on up

My ranking on Hitsunlimited.com has shot up into the top 50. I'm ranked number 47 at the moment. I was bouncing back and forth between the 90's and the 70's, but after my two latest posts, my hits have more than doubled. Gotta love Google searches. I don't know how much longer people will be doing searches on either of the two topics, but I know the popularity won't last forever. However, after Saturday's 185 unique visitors and Sunday's 227 unique visitors, I would have thought someone would have been tempted to comment. I had a comment on the H2O reel, but that was about it. I'm beginning to get the feeling that many of them don't even know what RSS is or how to subscribe to any feed. It's a tough group to figure out. At least I've stumbled upon one way to get them to visit in droves. Hopefully it will get me a few more repeat visitors. Is the concept of a blog too technologically involved for this kind of visitor?
