It's always tough making these types of decisions. By same token, you obviously know your audience, where they engage and where they don't so your readers ultimately support that. Perhaps by relegating this from full blog to recurring thread topic, you might actually sharpen your focus on themes that engage. Cheers, Mark Sounds like the right call, Om.

Keep things simple. Let your content do the talking... Good luck. Om - keeping the FR branding and logo is a mistake, too much clutter and noise, it will be confusing to most people.

I could tell the blog was highly read because when she would post my articles, I saw a significant increase in traffic. Way to go Carleen!! I'm glad you will still have a say in helping voice the stories, challenges, and wins for us entrepreneurs. Use this time to perfect and work on your vision. The life of an entrepreneur is always one step forward, a couple steps back, standing still for a while, a few steps sideways, a leap forward, etc. I really have to say kudos to Carleen for building such a great rapport with her contributers (myself included).

I hope you will continue to come back and read the FR posts and we will try and be very respectful of your time.

As a latecomer, I missed out on the community but the Found|Read blog is the one place I know where I could consistently find posts that relate to me as an aspiring founder. Most other entrepeneurship blogs mix the useful content in with Silicon-Valley news and analysis. Interesting as some of that may be, it doesn't help me bootstrap my business. The Found|Read blog posts were always relevant and useful and I do hope they continue at their new home. I was a fan of the blog.
