Lots of good info in this post - thanks for posting!

Though I find the heavy use of one sentence per paragraph a little off-putting. It feels impersonal, it's difficult for me to feel a connection with you. That said, I'm guilty of doing this myself!

Just had a look at your blog, and it looks like you don't always write like this. Some great topics too.
