Hi Fred,
Great job! I like the design, it looks clean. And the search is super
fast.
What I don't quite like so much is the carousel. You can't control it
and it can be a little distracting.
For other arguments see http://shouldiuseacarousel.com
<http://shouldiuseacarousel.com/> :) But maybe it's just me :)
And I understand we do want to put the blogs somewhere.
I have the same concern, but I think this small "ticker" is less of a
problem than the usual giant carousel's that shouldiuseacarousel.com
goes against.
At least thats what I feel now - lets see what the feedback is and if we
are getting more or less clicks on the entries ;)
