"professorhollybell.com" … seriously?

Makes me think of all those new age books where the author's middle name is 'PhD'. The use of bold text doesn't help her credibility either.

Too ridiculous-looking; didn't read.

If you didn't read it, than how do you know what it says?

I don't know what it says

Ah good. Nothing like condemning something you haven't read including the credentials of the author.

Oh, I just noticed you're the author of the blog post.

If I had realized this I would have changed my tone (FWIW). The point stands though. Your domain name and your use of bold scream 'quackary'.

Like I said, I haven't read the post so, who knows, maybe it's insightful after all. But I definitely think you have a problem with presentation.

Still a strange reason. Regarding the domain name I tried many others, but they were all taken so you take what you can get. You can always go to www.thetollingbell.com if if makes you happier. The bold is in place in case you don't want to read a bunch of boring stats, but just the highlights.
