Having a consistent look and feel to a website or application is important. Clearly we are breaking that rule. Adding the appropriate theme is an agenda item, but it's not at the top of the todo list. It's only a matter of time. But why post this? Because we like feedback. Listening to the customer is what keeps us in business, and most of the time it's fun to work together. Even when it's not all fun and games, there is a sense of accomplishment from pulling together and getting things done.
Personally, I'm pretty happy with the main layout and style. It has evolved a little from the original, and I think it works. I like the color scheme and layout. But would it work for a blog? Does anyone else really care, or am I getting a little obsessed with details?
The general vision is that the blog entries would appear in the same area as the welcome text on the home page. The usual blogroll and link would go where the side nav does on the main side. I'm not sure, but there is some opinion on even keeping the top nav on the blog area too. It may honestly be a while before we get to it, but you never know. I could get an itch one night and decide to hack away.
