Wasn't meant as a direct dig at anyone, just making my observations :)

Well from a UX perspective, it was a great write-up.

Thank you! As my first blog post, this is quite encouraging haha

"But Ben!" - Not to be discouraging, the "natural flow" is a fair point in your article, but genereally it feels highly arrogant.

Some experiments may go wrong, and it is ok that you point that out, but telling them not to reinvent anything is another thing.

Just an observation from me: You make it hard to find a link back to your main blog.

Don't worry, there's nothing else there yet.

But there will be eventually, and in the meantime people want to subscribe.

Very true, I do have an Atom feed, not sure how well it works though as it's generated by Jekyll.
