So I think I am going to stop doing weekly link round-ups once i launch my redesign/realign. I think I want to have more of like “asides”, where I will just post an interesting link with a little blurb much more frequently.

I actually think it might look better, but he caught some backlash from the commentors saying that there would be less messages “above the fold”.
