> The big logo-y thing at the top of your blog page? Yes, the one that currently links to your blog? Right, that one. It shouldn't link to your damned blog! Link it to your product's home page instead.
Every time I have to manually cut the /blog/ out of the location bar I wonder how many users were lost by requiring that little bit of extra effort.
On a very similar note, if you want people to upvote you on another HN thread, you should really probably link to news.ycombinator.com instead of .org so people like me won't have to sign in again. :)
I just upvoted your other post. This practice is quite annoying. I guess it's understandable on some level but obviously it should be easy to get to a company's home page from its blog.
I tend to think that that is just the default behavior by whatever drop-in blog package they're using. You see this in nearly 110% of phpBB boards, where the corner link brings you to the top page of the webboard.
It's a missed detail, though whether by laziness or incompetence I'm not willing to speculate.
