You might want to make http://lessthandot.com work, and probably just forward to http://www.lessthandot.com. Remember, "www." is "so 90's".

I am checking out the site now.

The site looks nice, but there's no link anywhere for a user to post a blog message. Is this functionality live yet, or is the link just hard to find?

Also, a feature that a community site like this that include blogs needs to have is the ability to pull in external feeds for users that host their blog somewhere else. By making the blog functionality of the website only work with hosting it on the website, it's like saying you don't want contributions from people that host their blog somewhere else.

It would be awesome if you could pull in external blog feeds from users external blogs, and aggregate them into the mix of all users blogs.

I'm looking forward to what this site becomes.

@Chris Pietschmann  

Initially the blogs will just be open to those members who express a desire to create a blog. We can open this up for anyone who decides they would like to create a blog, so feel free to drop us a line if you choose to do so.

That's also a good suggestion about incorporating blogs from elsewhere. This is exactly the type of response we had hoped for where the community can help decide the direction that the site takes. Feel free to post suggestions like this in our suggestions forum (forum.lessthandot.com/viewforum.php) and then other people can give their thoughts too.

I look forward to seeing you on the site.
