TDavid,

Thanks so much for the excellent and very thourough review. I’m checking into the unability for amazon review. Not sure what the issue is there.

Would you mind if I quoted bits from the letter in a post? When I get a little extra time, I’m going to attempt to make some of the changes you suggest and would like to use snippets in the reveal post.

Thanks so very much,

thatedeguy - FYI: Amazon/Alexa shows your site is currently unavailable for reviewing. I took a screenshot here just in case it changes. I’m going to send you my notes directly via email today, if/when you figure out why nobody can leave reviews for your site, then please comment back here.

Another update: I got your review done and submitted tonight, Gerald, so it should show up tomorrow at Amazon. Also sent you an email, look for something from my gmail address with details. I’ve read the complete archives of thatedeguy and chipsquips and have started writing those reviews, but it will be a few more days, maybe as late as next week before I get those done and submitted to Amazon and email you two.

Me, I’m all about airing it. Make it into a post — the good, the bad, and the ugly. You’ve already given me lots of good criticism along the way, but any other observations and ideas from you are always welcome.

And thanks again, TDavid!

Tdavid, If you should decide to not make a post out of it, an email would be fine. You are not obligated to do either of course. Might be interesting to have some outside input on the site though.
The email submitted is accurate.

Really nice of you. Look forward to what you have to say whether it’s in a post, follow up email or in the Hmmcast. The email addy submitted is accurate should you go that route.

An update on my side of reviewing your sites, status: I’ve now subscribed to your blogs Gerald and thatedguy too. One of the three blogs I’ve read completely and I’m half through the other two. I’m making copious notes along the way. My question for all three of you, so far, is: would you like me to email these notes to you should I not decide to make a blog post out of them? If you’d like that, just respond here with a yay or nay, and when I’m done (listen to today’s Hmmcast for details about how long I think this will take) I’ll either make a blog post of the info or email to you privately if you want. Also in your comments if you indicate in the positive if the email address you left in your comments was a good contact addy.

For those reading and wondering about how long the reviews took to show up: the next day the Alexa image updated with the star rating so it appears to be an overnight process. The reviews don’t show up when you click on that graphic though, you have to visit this Amazon review page to actually read them.
