This a good reason people have bridge blogs. Lay out your system nicely on them and then create a link. See, for example, Ben's 2/1 system, Mickyb's Siege system, one of Gerben's several systems, etc. etc. etc.
Your best bet if you want feedback on your system here is to just outline the basics. Better yet, make a blog, put down all the detail, and then outline the basics here with reference to your blog.

Everybody is entitled to a "fair" trial. We'll sue for 10 millions and 5 years playing rubber bridge without conventions

We play a form of RKC, not Gerber. Please don't kill me.

I've seen a number of good pair's use a 4♣ advance over a weak two bid as a compressed keycard ask. Sometimes its nice not to risk the 5 level...

I play 4clubs is rkc over weak 2 and 3 opening bids.
4d over 3c opening so you can raise 3c to 4c as natural.
That also allows all 4 of a major bids over a weak 2 or 3 opening bid to be natural, not kickback.

I looked for a way to allow all to read and comment, but have not been able to figure it out. This is my first blog and so far is very frustrating. Anyone know how I can let everyone access it?

With luck, this link will work better (with good luck that is)
If it does, I will edit and expain.

I removed the "wp-admin/index.php" from the url (which is invisible in the post, but visible while editing.

First and foremost, it looks great and I think posting systems such as this is a real service.
Now, mostly for amusement, I note that you say in the carding section:
J asks for the 10 vs. NT and Suit
and then
J is either from J10 or KJ10, or AJ10
It appears that the asking for the ten will not often get the ten.

Thanks for posting your system...
Blogs are both a great way and a bad way to post such things. In a blog, stuff moves over time. This makes it difficult to follow a system logically, and as time goes by, makes it even harder to find. I think a better solution is to set up a "book" format blog.
I have two such blogs, one explains my inquiry2over1 system and all of its oddities, the other is a squeeze thing I ahve all but given up on simply because I havent found a satisfactory way to enter hands in an easy to edit and add format.
You can see my examples at:
Inquiry 2over 1 system
and
Identifying squeezes/
You can take the text you have already written and put it in a book type format that will never change... this will help others find what they need or want to know about what you have written about your methods.

This is the same as standard leads where Q asks for the jack, but also you lead Q from QJ (ie KQT9 or QJ). There is nothing wrong with this, it just means if you have the ten and partner has led the jack he doesnt have JT and wants you to unblock it. There is nothing inherently illogical about this, however that doesn't mean it's a sound method.

I have read your pages - well! And I find it sad that because of a GUI issue, you are giving up. Ever heard of WIKI? It let's you define TEMPLATES.... which is exactly what you are looking for!
There are hundreds of sites which offer free wiki-hosting. It's the ultimate alternative to any blog you'll ever find, IF you'd like the ability to make templates.
example of free-hosting-site: http://wik.is/

example of site: Contract bridge on Wikipedia.... you all know it I guess!
