For me, the golden nugget of advice is creating content rich enough that it's worth a second visit.

Also, it was great to meet you during your Milwaukee visit a few weeks back!

But they've the privilege.

What these guidelines do is provide those of us working our way up through the ranks some structure while we're finding our voice and our audience.

But I'm learning to write along these guidelines as best I can, because they are proven to work, and they aren't that difficult to learn.

Mastery, of course, is a whole 'nother beast.

Chris, thanks for putting this out there, and for allowing threaded comments. So few people actually interact, but it's nice to be able to.

(For the humor impaired… I'm kidding.)
