Ok Grant, now you've got me stumped.

Your About Page is huge which is contrary to a lot of the other bloggers that I visited when I started out in March. And most of them kept saying keep it short which was very difficult for me at first. So my About and Contact page became one. This is very frustrating!

Concerning the Press Page, I get what you're saying, and yes I've written about 50 articles to-date I think. Does that count?

Love the idea of a Twitter Landing Page as an entry point to my blog. Definitely going to do that.

Newsletter Page is a good idea but it can't be a rehash of a post, so that will take some organizing.

Archives Page - I assume this replaces the standard flat or drop down archives that come with Blogger. Could you expand just a little on this?

404 Page - I had planned to leave this for last but when I saw - Client question should become a blog post - it was just what I needed. I received a comment from a reader that needs resolution but she has no email contact listed. And it makes no sense talking to myself by posting another comment. Great way to handle this. Thanks!

I'm about a week behind, and now a little confused. I have most of the pages you mention, but they are pages of my firm website and not necessarily my blog (I think the blog is 'attached' to my website also).

Is this sufficient? or do I need to have the same sort of pages on my blog also?

btw. Thanks for this great series! I'm learning a lot!

One page I really must get together is a press page; I've been thinking about this for some time, and now your post has made me even more determined - thanks!

What is a sneeze / squeeze page?

Do you think it is good to state your advertising rates on your blog? Most sites I have looked at ask you to contact them rather than list charges on the page - would like to hear your thoughts on this...

We will discuss the squeeze page in a few days. I will save my input on that until then. As for advertising rates, I for one think you should post them. Kind of like, "why hide the ball?" I for one usually don't bother trying to find out what someone's rates are if they don't put them on their sites. And, what advertising we have done on sites, I have yet to advertise on a site where I am required to ask. But, this is only my opinion.

I had the same question about the 'sneeze' page, so I'll be patiently waiting.

Good question about posting rates. I know that I hate it when something is advertised with a "contact us" for prices.

Thanks for your thoughts on the advertising rates, query. It's good to get a broad range of opinions.

I look forward to the squeeze page info!
