I think you should focus on improving the design of your site. Make it more
simple so your content is focused - remove the weird matching colors, cloud
picture taking too much space on the top and other things that take the focus
of your site's main attraction: great content.

I think you could get inspired by A List Apart ( <http://www.alistapart.com/>
), they provide similar articles like you, but their design and typography is
much better.

I really, really recommend working with a web/graphic designer in that case...
I always used to go solo as I wanted to retain complete control of the
finished product. What I do now though is I consult with a graphic designer.
He may not make even 50% of the design, but his input always makes a huge
difference in the visual quality of the finished product.

Who changed the title from "50 ideas for the new catonmat.net website" to
"Ideas for the new catonmat.net website"?

I liked the "50 ideas" more. As tests have shown, people like concrete number

Any way to change the title back to "50 ideas"? :)

There's a HN guideline that says:

 _If the original title begins with a number or number + gratuitous adjective,
we'd appreciate it if you'd crop it. E.g. translate "10 Ways To Do X" to "How
To Do X," and "14 Amazing Ys" to "Ys." Exception: when the number is
meaningful, e.g. "The 5
