Update

I wonder if I’ll ever get around to finishing the Making the Blog(MtB) feature. It would be a useful piece of literature, but I’ve been struggling to find the time to work on it. I don’t have any illusions that people are excitedly awaiting the next installment. Once it’s finished though, I...
