Help me please! How can I improve the blog?

I have been working at this a while and would like to take it to the next level. If you have the time please
take a look at my blog and tell me what I can do to make it better.

What do I mean by "make it better?"

How can I improve my writing?
Is there any new topics that I should focus on?
How can I increase my readership?
etc…

Thanks for taking the time to do this. Feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments. If you don't want to say something in public you can email me at mosttoast <at> gmail <dot> com.

Your header is a very pretty picture but it doesn’t tell me what this blog is about. I would have the name of the blog in the header and its tagline/subtitle.
If you really like this picture, write the title on the empty whiteboards and shift the focus of the picture so the whiteboards are closer.
I’ve never been a fan of archives showing. If I’ve just arrived, I know nothing about your site so why should I go through the calendar? I would list your categories or your best posts.
And switch to WordPress.

Hi Yael,
Thanks for taking a look at it. I think that I am going to switch to WP for a future project.
I do need to do something with that picture. I will crop it and add the blog name and a catch phrase. I did have a Categories section on there. I need to check to see what happened to it. I will move or remove the archives section. That is a good idea. I never thought about doing that. I like the idea about listing the most popular posts.
My plan is to start a new blog that isn’t related to Toastmasters. I will do that with WordPress. At least that is my plan for now.
Thanks for the insights. I GREATLY appreciate it.

I do not think that the name MostToast is now very descriptive. How about PostToast?

Who are you?
Personality. Introduce yourself. Picture. About me page.
Put yourself into the presentation!
(I know a ‘lil bit about who you are, Jeff — but new readers do not.)
