Feedback request for new blog: A Complete Southern Gentleman

All, I've lurked for years, but this is my first post. For that, I apologize, since I'm asking for something. I'd really appreciate some feedback on a blog I've been working on for a few weeks about clothes, drinks, accessories, manners, etc from a Southern angle. The latest item is on the Allen Edmonds Strand, though there are also posts on sunglasses and blazers so far.

Thanks to any who can spare a few minutes. Any well-meant (including harsh) feedback here or in comments there is really appreciated!

Caustic, I'm not ashamed to self-promote, but when you make something eventually you have to throw it out to the world beyond your family and friends for feedback. None of them had yet said my layout looked awkward. I expect that sort of thing here from strangers who care about how things look and how people present themselves. That's what I need to make it better. So thank you!

And BTW, I'm planning to post on custom 1911s before long- if you get a chance to check back, let me know what you think of that as a gun guy.

I totally understand. I'll have to stick around, I think. Thanks for the help.

GBR, thanks for looking and commenting. It's not meant to be for everyone- if it's not at all for you, then I really do appreciate you taking the time to look. 

I'm already reviewing bids for a designer to help me improve the look and flow based on comments above because I seriously value what this forum has to say about the concept. I'll bump this when I have a redesign up, but won't otherwise post before that unless there are specific questions.

Thanks!
