10. Personally speaking...it's a very difficult blog to read.

That might be part of the problem. Simplicity is key. Let me know what I'm clicking on, give me a quick one or two sentence synopsis. Don't make me guess what's behind the whirling frisbee or the MC Escher-esque whatever-it-is. Plus, it was filled with ads which ad-blocker fills up with empty space. IMHO, it just is (wasn't) a very reader-friendly blog.

Good luck with your next iteration! I like the idea, I just think you had problems with the execution.
