That's marketing 101 folks. You should always include a short paragraph describing your offerings.

At least the logo goes to the main page of the website, and not the main page of the blog.

EDIT: heh, that was fixed 46 minutes ago.

Yup, our bad. Turns out we still have a lot to learn about blogging.

Funny bit is that YC companies always miss this. I think ya'll need a launch checklist. (:

I've actually been thinking about putting together a book/list of checklists.

1) Launch 2) Onboarding employee 3) Firing employee 3.5) Firing cofounder(s) 4) Getting hacked 5) Trolled 6) M&A offers 7) Running out of cash 8) Raising (per type of round) 9) Board meetings 10) Annual reporting etc.

Sounds like a great series of blog posts too. I'd definitely be interested as some of those topics are rarely discussed.

Yeah, I think blog + discussion, and then edit, and then turn into a book (which people can download or if they want to buy from Amazon buy, etc.) makes the most sense.

A lawyer's input would be really helpful for some areas; I'm pretty confident from an entrepreneur's perspective, and from a technical perspective, but while I generally am aware of the laws which apply to me, I'm not qualified or credentialed to give anything approaching legal advice.

It would almost make more sense to do in the Founders at Work style, where you have a domain expert work on each checklist/chapter.

Well, if you are serious about this, then shoot me an email. Maybe I can assist in some way. (:
