A quick list of recent usability improvements:

• We now record a “number of times read” count for each article, as well as totals for each blog / blogger¹, which you can see in the sidebar of the article page.
• All articles now feature a Twitter sharing widget, to go with the one we added for Facebook sharing.
• We now display links within the content of articles, rather than stripping them out. Command-click (Mac) or control-click (Windows) to open the link target in a new window.

¹ If you’re curious, we count reads from logged-in users, guest users, and search engines. However, an article’s read count only goes up by one per browser session, so refreshing has no effect on the total. Finally, we don’t count reads from the article’s own author – or, if the article came from a Group blog – from any of the authors registered as contributors. In short, you can be confident that the read counts are genuine.
