Thank you for answering. Given your interest in typography, I was wondering if they were supposed to somehow make the posts more readable. I actually find them incredibly distracting when reading, but then I also don’t like reading textbooks or a lot of magazines or anything else that has lots of little asides and boxes and headers and really anything other than straight text.

Or two.

1. Whim.

2. On odd essays such as this one, I use blockquotes for asides…but also for, well, quotes.

I’m sometimes mystified by my use of them too (whereas in Cites & Insights, I try to be fairly consistent). The miracle of blogging…especially five-minute posts like this one.

I’m often mystified by your use of them; I find them nearly impenetrable in this post.

(Not having read Good to Great, I’ll refrain from comment, especially as I’m highly unlikely ever to read it).
