3rd — I wasn't sure how appropriate it would be to essentially pick apart haiku-os.org on haiku-os.org and I was hesitant to ask. 

Please, *never* be hesitant to ask. It's like telling yourself no. :)


I do hate to be pesty though.
Sometimes you have to pester people to get a response or to get your point across. This is inevitable in a volunteer-based open source project, and I don't see it as something negative. :) 


What do you think (especially about #3)
Criticism is OK as long as it is constructive and it is accompanied with solutions. So let me put it this way:
If your blogging is meant to be a purely theoretical dissertation, and does not provide a practical solution and (at least part of) the means to achieve a solution, then perhaps Blogger is a better place.
It is both, it's about tracking issues I see in the current design, not just for my redesign, but for the general mission of design in Haiku. -- which is pretty much what you say below.
What do you exactly mean by "my redesign" and "the general mission of design in Haiku" maybe I can comment?
If blogging is part of a bigger exercise to provide practical and viable solutions in the areas of design and usability for our website, then I think the Haiku Blog-O-Sphere would be a good tool for you to convey your ideas, show the progress of your project, and obtain feedback.
That is the small distinction that made me a bit uncomfortable about asking. I can't guarantee that I will be able to devote the time required to do everything I'd like to do. Ideally, I'd love to devote free time to it — but if it happens that I don't, I wouldn't want to let anyone down. 

Nobody here can guarantee anything, so you are not alone. :)
Correct me if I am wrong, but what I gather from this and previous responses from you on this list is that you may not have the time to actually implement your ideas. In that case I would recommend that you take a more "baby steps" approach, that is, analyze the existing theme/design, break down all the issues that you think it has, and translate those issues into smaller solutions that you can implement gradually. IMHO, this approach is much more likely to result into something that we can actually use. Of course, FWIW. :) 

Cheers,

Koki
