Thanks for the feedback Graham and Darren. I am grateful, and the hard task now comes in putting content onto the site because unlike my other sites, where I already have a reasonable knowledge skills base, the topic of leadership and professional development is an area that there is so much for me to learn about. And while pink is nice and relaxing the content is way more challenging than Web 2.0 and technology.

Ooooh, pink. No way, no self respecting Australian male is going to look at a pink site – unless the content is really good like about beer or footy or surfing. Seriously , people who object to your colour scheme aren’t likely to have huge intellectual contributions to make to your excellent work. Keep the scheme, I say.

Hello again, Sue. Great blog!

I took a look at your wiki. It’s pink. My initial reaction was that it was your site, you liked the colors, and who am I to take an issue of what colors you use for your wiki?

Furthermore, if I were asked to contribute to the wiki, I don’t believe that the colors would prevent me from being fully engaged in participation. To me, the design wouldn’t affect my participation as much as the content would. Keep your content engaging, and your users will participate.

For what it’s worth,
