Finally, I just want to make a note about the design change we've recently implemented here at Finance Trends. I want to thank Laurence Hunt for his early feedback on the readability of text in the post width margins; I've narrowed the post body margin slightly, and I hope this subtle change will make the blog posts a bit more readable.

We'd love to hear more feedback from you on blog layout suggestions or features that might make your visit here more enjoyable. Don't hesitate to leave us a comment, or drop me an email (see blog profile for contact info) with your suggestions anytime.
