Meta comment, but I really like the formatting of the blog post!

It reminds me of the early days of the web, when text was king and content was king. I particularly like the sidenotes in the margins approach.

(Hope the author sees this comment :) Hats off)

I am sorry, I am maybe dumb but i can't see the 14 techniques been listed anywhere? Where do i even click?
You need to read the post.

> Wait a minute, this list goes to 17, yet the intro only mentions 14! I actually did that because a couple might overlap and a couple of them are half-approaches, and that last one is just here for fun. Besides, as I learn more approaches and add them to the list, the title will get more and more out of date anyway.
