Good advice to leave space to allow expansion of site navigation, always best to plan for when your site grows I think!

I don’t think two side bars are necessary. I like a minimalist approach. I find too much gets confusing.

I agree with you an many of your points. I chose a single sidebar as well because I thought it looked better as well.

Good content is the key to getting sales and converting more earnings. Ideally this is what Google is looking for, and if you provide that, in time you will get what you seek. Alberts last blog post..Top 21 Article Directories Worth Submitting

I'm in the same boat as Steve - I wish I had known about Wordpress before I got sucked into a Typepad Blog. Tom @ Law Firm Business Developments last blog post..Food For Thought on Surviving the Current Downturn

Ok, I was one of the "Duh" folks that haven't been using Feedburner. For several months I've been meaning to post my feeds but the to-do never made it to the front burner, at least not until today. I just finished posting a couple feeds. With Google's acquisition of Feedburner, the process was painless (assuming a person had an account with Google). Regarding picking a theme that allows a third column. I purchased a developer's package for the Thesis theme and have been very happy with it. The theme allows for many variations and options, the least of which is the number of columns. Just my 2c. Kennewick Real Estates last blog post..How I Spent Inauguration Day

@Steve | trade show displays, did you get into my discussion on bloggers not responding to comments? If not, it’s currently sitting at #2 on my most popular list.

@Steve
I know what you mean about subscribing to comments, it does get overwhelming. I agree with you about blogger response, many times I have left a comment and especially a question for the blogger and get no response, that is a total turn off, I personally love interacting with my readers.

hey JR,
I think I’d need a quarter for each time, and then I’d be a millionaire too!
Seriously though, there was something above in the comments about emailing comment replies. Whatever you’re doing, I like it. I got a reply from you on my comment above. That I like, and I wish all bloggers would do that. I don’t “subscribe to comments” anymore because it only takes one or two 40 or 50 comment posts to overwhelm my inbox. What I want is just to get the bloggers response, not everyone else’s (no offense to everyone else, but that’s my preference). Anyway, a plugin that would do that would be awesome. Hope this comment makes sense…
