Todd,

This is an awesome site and I was happy to find it on Digg - keep up the good work! My site is in the midst of an overhaul and we are building out a new network, but at some point I'd definitely like to add a link here. Meanwhile I'll add the RSS feed and keep my eye on the goings on here.

Thanks!

Randy

Please take this post off the front page. Every time I (and I suspect many others) look at it, I say. "Oh, They haven't posted anything new yet" and go away. Archaeological order is the way to go.

Hi Elliotte, I understand what you are saying and I agree to a large extent. The idea is to provide a good experience for new visitors while still not inconveniencing returns users too much. I hate it when I go to a site and have no idea what the site is about or how to use the site, so thus the short sticky top post was born. Not ideal, but I hope it's an OK compromise.

Thanks for a great read. This is the first time I sat down to really take my time on the site.

I would agree with Elliotte (above), but I can appreciate your position. It still messes with my head though...

[Wireless Dog Fence]
