Hope everything went reasonably well - I imagined some crisis had occurred. > As for my tips, they are more in a "help" vein (most of them) > and I don't know if they have been getting much traffic (can > we track that?) -- and they don't fit very cleanly with the > rest of the site.

I don't think we can track traffic to an individual tip, and we certainly can't track whether people found a tip helpful. If you could do some merging that would be good. In the past I've made a lot of noise about wanting to merge similar tips and delete doubtful tips. That's still true, but we mustn't overdo it. I think that short, simple tips can be very helpful, and long, complex tips should generally be avoided (although a few worthwhile complex tips are good too). > As for the purely help-based tips, if you want them removed, > I have no issue with it.

I agree there's not much practical difference between a "help" page and a "tip" page. Let's see how your tips evolve and talk more then. Welcome back!
