Wow no. That was a long time ago. No idea if it is even still online. Ask Mark.

Hi Paul,

you mentioned an interesting presentation by Mark Boulton of the blogger.com redesign. Have you got the link to it?

Kind regards from Germany (we really like your british accent here:-) Thomas

Thanks for the feedback Daniel. You are right that a lot of our audience are web designers or developers but as you will find out next week, these people are very valuable in winning work for Headscape. Approximately 90% of new leads coming to the company come via boagworld. :)

Fascinating to see your thought process laid out like this, and it seems to make a lot of sense.

The only thing I didn't think you picked up on enough is identifying your audience. You've talked about how boagworld is a marketing tool for Headscape - is it really?

Aren't most of the people who come here (like me) web developers themselves? Perhaps you know more about just how many requests for work come via readers of this blog.

To be fair, your last section redresses this and I think your primary call to action is spot on (funny enough, even though it's bang in the middle of the header, I've never really noticed it!) I generally just get on with reading the article - and for me, it's all about the catchy titles you use for articles.

Perhaps you should repeat the call to action at the end of each post?

Let's see what the users say next week!
