Thanks for the interesting blog post, Kevin. Reminded me of the time I managed website creation for a company I used to work for. That experience taught me a few points about planning and creating a new website. The lesson that sticks out the most is to always look carefully through the web designer's portfolio and see if their style corresponds to your expectations. They may listen to your wishes at your initial meeting and say they can do exactly that, but it's hard for a person to part with a style they've used for a long time. We actually had a designer who was trying to put flash animations on our site, while we expected a more formal and simpler look. I didn't pick the designer, someone else did, I just had to work with them. But looking at the designer's portfolio it was hard not to see that they use flash in all their works (and are really good at it), so hiring them for our website and expecting them to produce something completely different wasn't very smart. A great lesson though. ))

I'm designing a website and blog (www.mizusoft.biz and blog.mizusoft.biz) and it's really a hard work to do.

My blog I contracted wordpress and it's working very good. I just don't know what magic I did because I was having 5...8 access day and now (overnight) 150...250 access day. And I don't know what I did and how to improve it.
