		<description>Alex:

Thanks. Not sure I agree with you on the &quot;home&quot; link, though it&#039;s certainly debatable. And you are absolutely right about the phone number. Thanks for pointing that out!</description>

		<description>Oh, and I&#039;d consider reformatting the phone number in the header to be (XXX) XXX-XXXX. I thought it was some random code at first because I didn&#039;t recognize the area code.</description>

		<description>Good stuff guys. A few little things: 

1) No &quot;Home&quot; link in the main nav is a no-no in my book
2) You have Lorem Ipsum in the Media section</description>

		<description>Thanks for the kind words and criticism!

@Erik your point on the captcha is well taken. We&#039;ll probably ditch it. Regarding the map ... we debated this a lot and ultimately went for simple. Did not want to gum it up with js.</description>

		<description>Love the new layout, the mind map is a great asset. However, I would consider looking at some other mind maps out there as I think the layout is a bit flat, and there are some really interesting things you can do with the structure and display of a mind map (if your willing to dig into some Javascript).

The colors and design are easy on the eyes and make it pleasant to look at for a while (so people can read through all the sites content). The addition of new content such at the presentations is great too. I think one of the hardest things for a consultant is figuring out the right balance of how much do you give away for free, and when do customer&#039;s have to start paying. It&#039;s easy to say giving more is better, but eventually you have to put food on the table. The slides give people a look at what you have to offer, if they want a real presentation, then they can contact you. Well done.

I really like the link text &quot;who we are&quot; and &quot;what we do&quot; are much more fresh than the typical links like &quot;services&quot; and &quot;about.&quot; 

The last complaint, if you haven&#039;t been getting lots of spam comments, I would really reconsider the captcha for comments. The effort of solving the cryptography known as captcha is more than enough to send potential commentators running. It may be worth a little spam to get more people commenting.

Really love the site, just tried to give some constructive criticism where I could. I figure that is more helpful than just saying &quot;Way to go!&quot; Great job though, really.</description>

		<description>Great job guys. Congratulations. We need some of your colorful and insightful commentary here in Chicago. When&#039;s your next Chi Town visit? Marinas open April 15th... did I mention I have a boat? ;)</description>

		<description>I like the look and feel of it so far.  Easy on the eyes.  I like the new categories you added though, I&#039;m exploring the API one now.</description>
