The part above the first header must have signaled "Don't read me, I'm not important" to my addled brain, too. Nothing like making an idiot of yourself with your first comment, eh? Also noticed after the edit window that one of your follow up replies had a clickable name link but the other didn't. Could all this be a sign that I need to stop reading (and commenting) on blogs at work....? Nah. Edit 1: Started browsing your real blog, looking forward to more. :) Edit 2: BTW, much clearer on the edit. Even I might have noticed that... might. :( Yes, I completely missed it.

No offense to Chatty, but this was probably my favorite entry in it. (What's it say about me that I respond better to negative direction than positive?) :D Anyway, I've been enjoying this blog for a few of weeks now and figured I'd take a moment to say so. A bit of feedback: with these guest posts, you may want to encourage your guest blogger to put their name and a link to their regular blog at the top of the post. That blue/gray box at the end basically signals "nothing important to read here, move along" so I didn't notice who wrote this until I read the comments. It'd be a good service to the guest bloggers too. I have no idea who Berin is or where his blog may reside (or if he even has one... assuming "yes"). I'd like to read more if possible, but I don't know where to go! Great series. No offense to Chatty, but this was probably my favorite entry in it.
