How Upworthy became the web's fastest growing publication. A few anti-Buzzfeed takeaways here.

Screw you, I'm going left-aligned.

In this article on Mitt Romney, The Washington Post lets you play the exact sound clip from the interview for each quote.

#taxonomy

The Freelance Strategist lets you enter the number of the page you'd like to hop to.

Correction: you can change the number but there is no way to hop to that page. Weird.

#pagination

Hello. Welcome. I’m devoting this corner of the Internet to a series of what I’m calling drafts. They’re something like blog posts, but intended to be living documents rather than static ones.
