Any of you aspiring to be teachers should be aware of this blog, run by the guy who published the "Head First ___" books. It's a great read and if I ever end up teaching algebra, I'll be following what he has to say like gospel.
However, this particular article is relevent to all of my "hitting people's fun" friends -- worth a little read.

Dude, you've GOT to do something with your blog. Maybe this system works well on a mega-screen, but half the time I'm scrolling horizontally like mad, just to read the inserts... can you make the borders and stuff non-hardcoded, or somehow make it easier to read?
(Now that I opened the link in a whole new window)...
yup yup yup... it galls me that I'm the senior student in my salle. There were folks who were miles better than me... but one quit, and the other decided to use sports psychology and bullshit macho mma technobabble to justify never working on anything except what he was already good at.
Which is, of course, how you learn to kick superficial ass... at anything...
Oops; I just realized that title-based links don't escape the frames (I hate frames, but suck at HTML and don't know how to use the alternatives). Within the body of an insert, I always put a target="_top" so the link escapes the frame, but the titles don't do that. I'll stop using title links.
So long as you're critiquing, is the appearance of the actual entry texts ok?
They run RIGHT UP to the end of the borders, but otherwise it's fine...
I'm with you on the bad html. I can't even figure out how to put a pretty background up for my site...
Well, I'm sure you could, but much like me, have better things to do. In my case, it's trying to beat my brain through category theory, create an implicitly parallel purely functional programming language so my projects are fun again, and try to get a working lower back (not succeeding). In your case, it's make felt, hit people and take down bad historiographies. No shame not understanding more HTML; as Mr. Long said, "Specialization's for insects."
I'm right with you there, no issue. Would like to have more of a clue, but don't see how to rearrange my priorities to obtain it.
Which inevitably means swapping somebody a service for a service. Ah, the free market...
good article -- well-said.
