I look forward to the time we can organize our content a little better/target different topics/areas like you would on, say, wordpress or blogger. That is one of the things I miss about my old blogging days.
Of course I also never made ANY money off of my blogs before. Views or not, the money didn't come forth. So I guess that while I'm looking forward to seeing new changes in the future and I agree that this interface definitely could use some updates (I was just reading yesterday that there are some coming soon), I'm still happy with the platform as a whole. I have been meeting some amazing people here and the networking has been awesome.
Great post and awesome points. I hope someone can come up with some solutions.
