I agree with Kundan. Furthermore I really like the pictures next to each contribution. I read TPE so much that I have come to recognize my favorite contributors. With their pictures I can scan the list very quickly and get to the contributors that I get the most value from!

I for one am a TPE lifer and love the format. Please don’t change a thing.

P.S. Some people just don’t “get it”. I think Rene probably couldn’t handle your book either.

I don’t really understand why she was so upset. The reason why TV is free is because of the commercials. Likewise, the reason why you get to put up a regular blog with lots of useful content is because of that little ad you have – yes, perhaps only 10% of those readers will actually buy your products such as books, TFM, etc. but those 10% help pay for the 90%. And besides, yes, sometimes it is indeed a little bit distracting and annoying for me too. But all I have to do is close it if I don’t like it, and it works. It is unfortunate that closing it did not work for her. Perhaps a sad technical glitch? And sometimes, I actually click on that ad because it is actually interesting and useful.

As for the thumbnail pics, I am sure contributors would be less inclined to contribute without that pic. I disagree with the notion that there is very little content. Perhaps only 10% of the information is useful, but that’s always true in life, isn’t? It is our responsibilty to learn how to sift through it, not yours, Mike.

Much Love,

Kundan

I recognize it can be annoying, just like commercials on TV. And like commercials on TV, I want readers to be aware of additional stuff we do at TPE. You may not know this (most visitors to our site don’t), that I have a book available on Amazon. I additionally have a whole video series, etc.

So while I am very sorry that advertising for the additional stuff we provide has annoyed you (and I understand), I have yet to find a better way to strike the balance (yes I track the Google statistics) on making people aware of our resources beyond the blog.

Thanks again for the feedback… and wishing you the best in the future!

Also, while I’m sure you want to pimp your contributors a thumbnail pic next to each item is overkill when people are reading for information. It makes the blog far too long with too little real content.
