I will do that! @Rosemarie: This is Hypereal Journal, a derivative of the Sandbox Theme for Wordpress. So far (and I know I always say this) it's my favorite.

I think about pages are much more important than the attention many give them. I often go to them if I like a post. It can give a quick overview of what the blog is like (to decide if I want to grab an RSS feed) - unfortunately that often doesn't help, but yours would. I think it might be a good idea to provide some sample posts - link to a few popular posts or posts you think capture the essence of your blog. I've done that on my <a href="http://engineering.curiouscatblog.net/about-us/" rel="nofollow">science and engineering blog</a> and plan to on the others. On my blogs I also have a popular category to serve that purpose in general - if someone is somewhat interested they can quickly look through some popular posts and decide if they want to subscribe. They are also nice to give regular subscribers a sense of the author - which yours does very well I think. Excellent. I think about pages are much more important than the attention many give them.
