How could http://blog.usedcargenius.com be improved?
Help!
I'm trying to make the site as interesting and entertaining as possible and I would love to hear feedback on the content as well as any other suggestions that you feel would make you more likely to subscribe to the RSS feed or newsletter.
It would also be great if you could mention your favorite and least favorite articles on the site and what you like or dislike about them.

Thanks!

I love the concept and the writers wit... I like the "feel" of the layout and theme; however, as you grow your readers may have a hard time locating specific articles.
At the very least I would add a recent posts feature (so the reader can easily see subject titles) increase your categories to appear more specific and use the tag feature to cross link posts.
If and when you do update your theme, I would try a magazine style or a theme with a left and right side column. (As your category list grows)
As for a favorite and least favorite post, I honestly enjoyed them all. (I think I saw all of them, I used the archives to browse) I guess my favorite would be
"Warning: Buying this vehicle may cause dizziness, hair loss, and incontinence." Again, the writers wit shines through.
I would change the about page, as of now I know how to keep up with your site, but nothing "about you". Maybe use the disclosure from "Is your used car dealer adding value or just increasing cost?" http://blog.usedcargenius.com/?m=200811
If you are looking to earn revenue from the site, I would suggest using Google Adsense to place one ad with wrapped text in the posts where you mention specific products like "Possibly the best $169 I ever spent…"
Overall, I think you have a wonderful concept that will be extremely useful to your readers. Good Luck!

Thanks for your time in evaluating the site! I agree with your feedback (especially re using a new theme that shows recent stories and the About Me page). I'll be making those changes over the next few days...and I'd always be very happy to hear any additional feedback you have...Thanks!
