Now noticing how rare it is to find a site that does not feel rushed, and a look at makepositivechanges extended that calm pace, content produced without time pressure has a different quality than content shipped to meet a deadline and this site reads as written without urgency which produces a different and better experience for readers.
Decided this was the kind of site I would defend in a discussion about good blog content, and a stop at brightnewbeginnings reinforced that, very few sites earn active defence rather than passive consumption and this one has clearly crossed that threshold for me without needing any explicit pitch from the writers themselves either.
