For some reason, I just skipped over the "iego" part in your URL and assumed it was Sand Castles... (which seemed interestingly relevant to someone from San Diego!). Anyway, I agree with you that there is definitely a place for both a traditional website with a separate blog. I used to argue in favor of combining them (as I did with my wife's site!), but now that I've been working closer with Jim Marks, I'm starting to see the benefits of having a website (separate from a blog) that is purely geared toward lead capture and conversion. As you say, the two different options appeal to different types of people.... Kris,

Love the new name for our site - Sand Castles? Wish I had thought of it. :) I have mentally flopped on the whole idea of merging the static site and the blog for awhile now, but for now I keep coming back to the conclusion that I like the degree of separation. I cross market them, for sure, and the little widget on "San Diego Castles" has helped drive traffic to the blog (and links on the blog to the site), but for now the audiences for each are mostly different. I think it was on an Inman Group discussion that someone suggested that people expect to see a traditional web site look one way and a blog another. I agree that this is mostly true so, for now, I won't be merging the two. If your website is a pretty canned experience, with common content (the content you would find on any site in any town in America) and primarily a host for your IDX feature and About page, then losing the distinction probably makes a lot of sense. For me, I have created such a monster of content - stats, neighborhood info, floor plans, and such - that it would be a daunting (although not insurmountable) task to marry the two. And, at this point, it would require professional intervention. So some day, but not yet. Note to Jay - You have implemented the one-site-does-all concept beautifully and are the exception.

But when people go to search they have to click again, then it takes them to my search site. Any way to frame it so it is right there?
