Proposal: Make it look less spammy by making it look official. Something like this:


About the author:

(thumbnail picture linking to profile.) Kaj is a blank working at [blank]. (S)he is

currently working on a [novel]. If you liked this post you can Flattr Kaj [here].


Where [stuff] denotes an appropriate link. If we create a standard template for such things then everybody (who wants to) can sign their posts in such a way. This will make the site look more professional, and increase flow to everyone's other projects.

This idea seems popular. Someone needs to create such a template. I have in fact already done so, but the last time I learnt HTML was in 2003 when I was eleven, so it might be a bit shoddy. If no one has created a template by Wednesdayish I'll post my attempt to Discussion.

EDIT: Meh, did it already.

Post it to the discussion and let others modify it if they want.
