I wish I knew a measurable fraction of how to make my blog as cool and graphically interesting as what is being done over at Open Portfolio.
You may know this site by its old name Public Mutual Fund. Site owner, Stephen has helped me with technical stuff many times. The site is an open book learning process about capital markets. There is also great news content agregated there as well. Check out his holdings pages too. He has pie charts and performance info of his various accounts.
Aside from the content being interesting I think he is out in front of what investment blogs will look like.
Given how far ahead, technologically, Open Portfolio is of any blog I have seen I don't feel like a jerk making a suggestion. I'd be curious to see a sector breakdown like might be available in Morningstar's X-ray vs the S+P 500. I would have no idea how to do this but then I am quite the Luddite.

Roger: Don't let a blog's "good looks" fool you. Just because a site looks "pretty" doesn't make the blog worth reading - it's content that counts. You can get the same information on the site from just about anywhere on the web, but insightful and original analysis is hard to come by these days, especially in an era of blowhards and bandits...
Content, content, content. And thoughtful reflection, useful and usable research, good links for follow-up. That's why I come to your blog every day, Roger. All of my limited number of preferred blogs are similar in presentation to yours where navigation does not disrupt the thought process.
Having looked at the Open Portfolio site, I think they are right at the ragged edge of form over function.
thanks for the kind word about my site. I just think the tool on Open Portfolio are neat.
