As I’ve mentioned here on more than one occasion, my primary focus for 2008 is on my own publishing efforts (my sites, blogs, and e-books for the most part).

Two of my largest sites are going to be going through some changes, and I was hoping to get some feedback from some of the other bloggers here:

AudioXposure – This is my oldest site. It hasn’t been updated in over a year. It’s being entirely overhauled, moved to Wordpress, and re-launched (hopefully soon) with a lot of new features. The new design is up in the meantime. What do you think so far? I tried to keep it simple, have it be a bit more magazine-like instead of simply a blog. The blue and green will definitely be the main colors on the site, but what do you think of the shades? Is the blue too light?

BizHow2 – This site houses my old content from About.com and AIA, as well as quite a bit of unique content. My issue right now is that I’m not sure what direction to go when I change the theme. I’m considering removing and condensing some categories, and doing this site in a traditional blog format. I’ve also been considering using a theme such as Brian Gardner’s Revolution News theme (more like a news site, broken down by category). The busier look of this current theme hasn’t led to a lot of people going to my actual content from the homepage, and there’s very little personalization and interaction (including subscribers), which is why I’m thinking a blog may be better. Any thoughts on whether you think a more general blog is the way to go, versus another zine-style site?

Thanks!
