[@OKau] Blog post tips for au.okfn.org

[Lachlan Musicman]

Steven,

Yes, I'm aware. I made the point because a potential solution that is
arrived at may well remove the necessity for a featured image. From what I
can see it's too hard to tell atm.

But your point remains - on the current site, attempting to find a Featured
image is an important aspect of publishing.

cheers

 It is through this shadowy emptiness (of negative space) that we walk,
talk, see, and live; negative space is the impossible cellophane layer that
drapes the known world and is invisible to all but to the most perceptive
minds.

It is possible to learn to see negative space though, in both the visual
and imagined worlds. The first step is developing the ability to see, and
the second is learning — as romantic poet John Keats put it — to be
“capable of being in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without any
irritable reaching after fact & reason.”
