I found you on Google! Thats a UID issue. ;) I actually didnt find you on Google. I found you on another site that I found on Google. I didnt see the Grok link, its cool that they are giving you some love. Like everyone else I am overwhelmed with too much to read so I haven't made it to their site in a while. Keep up the good work!

The ones directly from the book "Waiting for Your Cat to Bark" are a bit soft and since I dont keep up on popular culture I was hoping someone had named a few others in the blogosphere. Its a great video, hell you even used the word "esoteric" which was very impressive. Though I have to know, how long did that take you to put together? Knowing what a perfectionist you are I have to wonder how many times you rerecorded the audio and fiddled with the video. By the way, did you create that using Flypaper?

Changed a lot of the design around and shored up some of the copy. Paired down some extraneous pages and simplified the focus of each page. I fiddled with it for a few days (so we might be referring to different sites) it is currently in a good spot for design and content. But still struggling with SEO because I am using the bane of all web standards iWeb to design. Thanks to your post I changed the way I thought about a web page now I feel more confident about the content on tysoncrosbie.com Am I not on twitter always? lol Patrick,

I sort of like the new headline -- it's a strong 3rd party endorsement (and the "refreshing money management" tagline right next to the logo) -- but I still like the placement and pop of putting "We are refreshing money management" in pole position. Wonder if they are doing any multivariant testing? That’s probably it.
