I’m practicing what I preach to clients, and am adopting one of the five objectives<\/a> we call “Embracing” which is when brands use social technologies to collaborate with their customers to create new products. In this case, the product is my blog, and the customers are you<\/em>, my community.<\/p>\n

I’m undergoing a blog redesign, and after deciding on designers (read the process<\/a>) I’m working with Mitch from studionashvegas<\/a>. We’ve done several comps on my redesigned logo, which is now finalized, but am looking for feedback from YOU, my readers on the blog redesign.<\/p>\n

I study community, and this blog needs to serve your needs as well as mine. I know who my audience is from real research (see stats<\/a>), it’s primarily interactive marketers at agencies, corporate, and consultants. Since I’ve outgrown this current design, see the overflowed right nav, it’s time to clean up the layout, make it easier to find information and highlight what I think is important.<\/p>\n

Although we’ve taken a few comps to get to this point, here’s the latest version we’re willing to share. Since you’re going to be looking at this design as a community member, I want your feedback, and am watching for patterns in suggestions, or what you like.<\/p>\n
