[Edinburgh-pm] Could use some feedback

[Alex Brelsfoard]

Hi Anthony,

Great feedback.

Yeah, if you like IGoogle, you'll probably love MoDomhan. But it really is
a poor comparison, since MoDomhan can do SO much more.  But at least it can
also do exactly the same :)

I actually only added the description of the rewards/perks because they
advised you to define them in your video. If I get enough feedback in the
next couple days repeating your (and mine) point of view, then I'll likely
edit the video to cut out most of the rewards section.

I really like your idea about teaser pages.  I'm working on a video tour on
MoDomhan. But that has to wait for me to pretty-up a few sections.  But
doing teaser pages allows me to pick and choose those that are done enough
to display.  So I might do a teaser tour, plus I'm definitely going to do
an update on indiegogo using teaser images.

So, yeah, thanks for the ideas!
--Alex
