Blog Redesign at Rational Nation USA

Hey there, folks! It's me- Wes Messamore from The Humble Libertarian. As you may or may not know, I do a lot of creative work for hire, including optimizing, branding, and redesigning people's blogs.

If you're a regular reader here, you can see that there are a ton of great changes we've made to the site so that it looks better, loads faster, and is easier to navigate among other things!

We've got plenty of fine-tuning left to do before the site is optimized for your browsing pleasure, so bear with us, but in the meantime: enjoy the new features, let us know what you think of the makeover in the new poll on the sidebar, and feel free to use the comments section of this post to leave your feedback (positive comments and constructive suggestions are both welcome!).

PS: If you don't follow Rational Nation USA and/or subscribe to its RSS feed, you totally should! I do both. You can too by using the subscribe and follow features in the sidebar to the left.

    come look at my blog, wes, then look at my link list. the link to his is in regards to a post he wrote many months ago. and it is not only my blog, i have noticed the same thing in other blogs that have him as a link also, even the one that he blogs on the weekends.

    Thanks so much for the great feedback guys! I am seeing what I can do about the update problem. It's really weird and I hope I can fix it, but I'm not at all sure that I can.
