- ColinWright 15y agoI considered that, and first submitted the WP article. But then I looked at the first line or two of each, and thought that the blog post was more engaging that the WP article. The WP article is then one click away, but the blog post loads quickly, gives an immediate sense of what it's about, and includes the essence of the proof. So in the end I thought, after consideration, that the blog post was the better thing to submit. I felt it added some value, and wasn't a totally content-free wrapper. Yes, there's more in the WP article, but it feels like it requires more digging. If you're in a hurry and it might not be of interest or relevance to you, I think the blog post is the better item.
