Apologies for the off-topic post, but the hyphenated blog-ger in the first paragraph really caught my eye. I never knew that Wordpress, or any online publishing medium actually supported intelligent hyphenation at the end of a line.

I sometimes see incredibly widely spaced lines in full-line-width justified blogs (first word of the next line is a very long word that doesn't fit in the previous line), which always made for an awkward experience. Hats off to Wordpress for implementing this.

It's probably the "hyphens: auto" [1] in the CSS that's doing it. No support in Chrome yet [2].
