Thanks for the heads-up to an interesting article.
(I see that your reblog suffers from the excessive white space issue my recent one did. I consulted with a WordPress Happiness Engineer about that, and they thanked me for advising them that there was a problem; hopefully that was more than just a cynical ‘get this awkward customer off the line and close the case’ exercise.)

Glad you liked it … Jeff does good work!
WordPress drives me crazy on occasion … thanks for the heads up, though, for I didn’t realize there was excessive white space! Hopefully they will fix this, along with a myriad of other problems!
