      <title>Happy Birthday Allison</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;This morning was delightful. I woke up to find that &lt;a href="http://37signals.com"&gt;37signals&lt;/a&gt; had &lt;a href="http://www.37signals.com/svn/posts/337-screens-around-town-zune-php-developers-network-planet-argon-and-amex"&gt;referenced our website on Signal vs Noise&lt;/a&gt; this morning. In particular, they referenced the &lt;a href="http://www.planetargon.com/rails_hosting.html"&gt;Rails hosting&lt;/a&gt; order form on the &lt;a href="http://www.planetargon.com"&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;PLANET ARGON&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; site. What&amp;#8217;s interesting is that Allison created this design over a year and a half ago.. and we&amp;#8217;re actually in the process of a complete site redesign, which &lt;a href="http://chriszgriffin.com/"&gt;Chris&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://allisbe.com"&gt;Allison&lt;/a&gt; are planning to blog about in depth. :-)&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;There are some discussions within the comments on the blog post about the design decisions that were made, some of which we&amp;#8217;ve already begun to address in our redesign process brainstorming (based on google analytic conversion data).&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;On top of that, today is our Experience Director, &lt;a href="http://allisbe.com"&gt;Allison Beckwith&amp;#8217;s&lt;/a&gt;, birthday.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Thanks for the linkage, 37signals!&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;...and&amp;#8230; Happy Birthday Allison!&lt;/p&gt;
