I am grateful when I get comped, but I do not expect it and I never ask for it. I might ask to barter, yes.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
When I worked as a server at a popular restaurant in a Chicago suburb I could go places I would never have afforded otherwise because managers and chefs would recognize me and give me free stuff. I have gotten free meals but yeah, never expected it. Sometimes I miss those days of being 'in the biz'.

It's kind of like when I read something from an author who said people would say they had a GREAT idea for a book ... you write it and we can split the profits.

Hand to G-d, an acquaintance of mine (who SHOULD know better) said that to me recently.

It's a lot to ask on a holiday Saturday but I'm wondering if I could get some opinions on a new site I'm going to be launching soon.
Please ignore the huge cat photo that has nothing to do with anything at ALL. It's just what the developer chose as a place holder.
The two things I'm thinking are that I want the dots in the title to go away and have the title be perhaps two points larger.
Also, I'm wondering if I should make the admin text on the right grey.
Plus, I'd like the date and added by at the bottom of the post.
Thoughts?
Thanks!

Hmmm, my input would be...from the perspective of someone familiar with RSS feeds and the like...is that, while a contact page is good, a page for subscribing to an RSS feed AND a contact page AND a connect page (what is that for? Links? Twitter? Facebook? links are usually found on a sidebar, and twitter/fb/RSS are usually buttons) seems to be a bit over overkill.
I can see a separate links page if you have a shitton of them, separated into categories, say.

Excellent point, Erin.
I had intended the connect page to be social media links, for which there are already buttons, as you point out. Plus, the subscription box for my newsletter list.
The contact page would be phone and email.
I can move it all to one page.
Which would be better 'contact' or 'connect'?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Contact. It will make your readers have to think less.

Next question in re: web functions.
Is it necessary, desirable or functional to have tags and categories visible on a blog?
It seems so cluttering and I have to confess that I have never used a tag or category to look deeper into an archive.
Then again, I am completely unclear about SEO success and assume that I'm doing it all wrong.
