Andy Beal says that according to a new study :

I just wondered what the status of the updates to the blog package were?
I see you're promoting it for people who only bought the book, but what about those of us who have the book, the Marketing with RSS book, the whole package, etc.? I never got an email or anything.
Also, I love the new design. It is cleaner and more readable than the old one.
I'm wondering about the tags. They must be great for the SEs, but sometimes they cloud the content. I feel like I sometimes have to sift through the tags to find the actual post.
I guess what I'm saying is, as a reader, I don't know what all those links mean -- there are links for RSS, and some other blue and gray links (Wikipedia?), and while I understand the content tags, sometimes I just want to get to the post right away.
Also, as a blog owner, I'm wondering why you do this. Is this a key to getting SE traffic? If so, is there a way to do it with less tags and less of the little icon links?
I feel like if I implemented this for my market (moms with young kids who are sleep-deprived!), they'd click away because it would be too much work for them to figure out what all the tags are for, and they wouldn't be able to find the posts.
What do you think?

Just saw your response. Was away on a media tour for my book all week (no, I don't have a cool Blackberry yet to check my email on the go!).
I use Opera and Firefox, and I love the tag clouds, because they're intuitive to me (although my readers probably wouldn't realize that they're clickable).
I'm referring to all the links and icons (tags???) under each post. Your readers are much more internet savvy than mine, so mine wouldn't know what RSS is or that icon, or any of the other icons.
But I'm always game to try something new. And if it works, who am I to say it's crowded?
