I guess the author dislikes mirrored buttons??? :)
But seriously, valid constructive criticism is good.
In paragraph one, the author states the BPL page as a poor design, overwhelming in scope, and unfortunately ill-labeled. This critisism seems poorly considered.
Personally, I like clean interfaces too. Limiting the page to keep it fresh and focused is important, but BPL’s homepage does not seem overwhelming. Certainly no more than other library websites and only someone unaware of hovering would say it is ill-labeled.
In the second paragraph, the author does make some good observations about the blog.
In the third, the author makes some valid points and suggestions about updating the YA Blog. More activity here would help! If we do nothing the blog is as dead as the author suggests.
In the closing paragraph, the author really seems compleately off track. The author’s reference to the #2 suggestion Emily Clasper’s post just does not work. This is not what the post is saying and even if it is Emily certainly is not taking the advice with a blog, Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, Slideboom, … The originator of the advice sited is Jay Ehret who uses a blog, podcast, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, ustream.tv, …They are both using multiple social media sites.
I think the author could stand to take a closer look at the advice being referenced.
I do agree that more activity on the YA blog would add diversity and interest to the posts. When more staff members contribute and add their thoughts and ideas, we can increase user activity and interest.

Well, good night on a bicycle! I guess she told US.
But really, for all it's worth, I happen to like our "shiny, shiny buttons."
We just have so much to offer at BPL.
