I think this post gets right to a core problem of many websites and blogs: confusion! People on the web are lazy a lot of times, and if they can't find what they need/want in a few seconds, they'll move on.
You're absolutely right about contact details, too. I have gotten quite a few emails and Skype calls, just by encouraging contact and making it obvious how to do so. In fact, I think I might make it more obvious. What good is an online presence if people can't connect to you in person?
Take care, Andrew

It was amazing how difficult it was to contact some people, or figure out who, in group projects, the contact people should be. Even after googling some people an dtracking them down, I received a response to "preferred contact emails" from only about half. Seems to me we can make it REALLY hard for people to get in contact, like, potential sponsors.....or we can make it easy. I redesigned my homepage after this experience to make contact easier- now I have to make sure I do the same for the blog. This is advice all of us can use!
