<grumble>Please fix the font to the LW standard, and for Omega's sake, add a summary at the top and conclusions at the bottom. Technical writing is not like fiction writing, it follows a few simple rules you ought to have learned in high school.</grumble>

You're right; it especially needs a conclusion. Coming out with new articles as fast as possible (at least one a day) will take precedence over editing but I'll try to find the time. My writing should improve with practice, which is one of my goals for doing this.

If they're worth writing, they're worth writing well. If it helps your writing process to write one article per day, then do so but save them as drafts, and give yourself a week or two to come back to them and clean them up with a fresh eye.

Agreed. Non-standard font is surprisingly jarring (to me).

The standard LW font is Arial, right?

The standard LW font is when you don't explicitly specify the font in the HTML source of your article.
