Well written article.

The closing thoughts in the article

"With all of that said, I have to emphasize that little of this really matters. If you’re inclined to start a startup, nothing anyone says will stand in your way, nor, should it.

I think you need an "about" page. It's not obvious to me what the site is for, even with the blurb on the right had side.

Yeah. But, I just thought that the title was discouraging. A more appropriate title for this good article would have been better

Basically it seems the article is saying that starting a company involves risk. I agree.

Anyone keeping a through index of these fail blogs? Could make for a fun anti-pattern.
