I am trying to stay on top of the blogs here and would love any feedback. As always, I'm happy to collaborate and let others go hog wild on their own blog section.

The blog names are way too clever. I can't tell what at least half of them are about. I noticed when you click on them, there's that brief blurb describing what they're about. Maybe include that (or at least the first 140 characters or whatever) in the index would be helpful.

Good Point, had that for awhile but at the time I couldn't get it to look nice. Probably time I try again.

Is that better? Unfortunately the subject lines don't have a natural ability to include a nice description beside them without reprogramming aspects of the CMS. I've learned to dislike all CMS and prefer coding from scratch now but exporting all of the content would be cumbersome. I still have the old Vanilla forum to export to SMB and then in MyBB to get some of the great content sitting in storage. It's just a process that means putting a few days aside to just do that.

More criticism welcome. It's hard to get people to give me objective advice. Usually everyone just says "Looks good." I know it looks amateurish and I want to improve.

I'm usually most concerned with function. So I don't care if the descriptions are all mashed in there. But if you want it to look nice, too, could you possibly use a table with invisible borders and the blog names in the first column and the short descriptions in the corresponding rows of the second column?
