"This year's attendees will agree that COMDEX is the best place for the IT buying community to immerse themselves in mission-critical topics such as ensuring the security of their organization's intellectual property, Web domains, email systems, software systems and wireless infrastructure," said Eric Faurot, vice president and general manager of COMDEX. "With emerging technologies and standards such as Web services, Wi-Fi and Linux, it is critical that technology buyers understand security in the context of their overall architecture -- only COMDEX provides the broad-based, neutral platform required for that scale of interaction."

I was curious if you ever considered changing the layout of your site?
Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.

Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two pictures.
Maybe you could space it out better?
