I guess this would be considered "shameless blog promotion," but I would really like some feed back from many different viewpoints on my first guest post. Sort of an internet workshop, if you will.

I'm not interested in "its good," or "its bad," but some constructive comments.

The post can be found here:

Thank you.

It has been years since I read a history of the Lewis & Clark Expedition. A great American story. On a re-read I would certainly check out your blogsite. Your contributions to the story is a good project.

I don't care for the green background a whole lot.

I do like the writing, being from Great Falls, Mt I of course like the topic.

  I think I might be confused.
  Is this your blog or a blog you were invited to wrote for?

  I wrote it.
  
  It is on another person's blog--Doug Pologe.

  Yeah, don't mind me... I'm a tad slow.
  I did see that you mention it was your first 'guest post'.
  
  As mentioned earlier, I did like the article.

@dcarroll, if this was already posted to someone else's blog, you shouldn't be reposting it to your blog because you'll be running into serious duplicate content issue which could do harm to both blogs.

  As I stated at the start of this discussion, this was my first guest post. There is no duplication.
