Sure once I have this one running smoothly. I'm having an issue with links resetting themselves to non-funtioning URLs.

What would be the point of a poll?

*From a business perspective, you probably have several topics you might choose to blog? Or more importantly what type of content do you want to put on your blog? Stick to 2-4 simple main topics.
Thanks for putting it succinctly. I have thought about this. Sewing/gear making tips; workroom musings; a category that would include gear care is where I am going, I think.

*Keep it visual (for the blog part), with some text. I personally am not attracted to blogs with nothing but text. But that's just me. Outdoor clothing is connected to the...great outdoors where clothing is used. Clothing that gets you to see and experience great outdoors..
Yes, photos. People always like photos.

Maybe a section on tips....that you're willing to impart ie. care of tent, your jackets, certain materials.
*Section on outdoor fashion observations --new types of textiles that we don't know but translate in layperson's terms for us.
You must have missed that Tips for Sewing Outdoors Gear has been an integral part of my website since day one. :p I am extremely well known in some corners of the net because of that section. It is the section that needs the most work. I have a great opportunity to update much of the material that was on the old site as blog entries. It's half done as I have all the old pages and I just need to edit/reformat them.
Thanks for the great input!
