Small question - why is the blog directly on the root rather than under something like /blog/? And don't you think it'd look better to post under something other than "ADMIN"?

You know it is a blog, and I know it is a blog, but does my business gain anything from saying "This piece of content was written by some pajama-wearing shmuck who doesn't know what he is talking about and what it says was obsolete within 30 minutes of being posted"? Blog? What blog? No blog here, Mr. Person With Decisionmaking Authority At A Law Firm. All I see is experts talking to experts.

  Not sure I 100% understand the response, but I guess I feel it should either look like a blog or not look like a blog. Even my dad knows what a blog looks like, and right now that post sort of looks like it's part of a half-implemented blog. If you don't want it to look like a blog, why not get rid of the "06. DEC, 2010 CATEGORIES: UNCATEGORIZED BY PATRICK MCKENZIE COMMENTS OFF" byline completely? And maybe "comments off" at the end too, since if it's not a blog what do you need comments for. And if it's not a blog, I sort of wonder why you're using a blog engine rather than whatever other CMS or static pages, but I can completely understand if the blog engine is the easiest way to do what you want to do.

I use Wordpress for the marketing site because I can concentrate on writing copy and end up with something which looks good very quickly, whereas when I write copy in Netbeans I end up concentrating mostly on balancing my tags and end up with uninspired copy which looks cruddy.

      Like I said, I completely understand doing what's fastest/easiest, and that definitely makes sense. If Wordpress is what you know, it's completely defensible even if it's overkill. To be fair though, the choice isn't really "Wordpress vs handwritten HTML" - there are plenty of CMS systems that aren't big gnarly blog engines, and there's even just basic template systems.

  Well, at least you can do away with the "Comments closed" bit.
