Not to be down on the service, but I have to do some nitpicking.
There is a difference between "checkout" and "check out". "checkout" is not a verb, but a thingamajig. "the checkout page". "to check out" is a verb.
The first proper word on the blog seems incorrect. That doesn't inspire confidence. There are a few more problems with the text such as (preposition) words that appear missing, for example.
- jbkring 14y agoThanks! Fixed the "check out" issue. I don't see the other problems, but such is the nature of copy-editing your own writing.
- jabbernotty 14y agoFrom the last paragraph: "a couple writers" -> "a couple of writers" "its completion" -> "it's completion" It seems really important to me, that you get these sorts of things right in all your posts, even if you yourself won't be writing your prospective clients' blog posts.
- jbkring 14y agoIt is really important. You are right. In my haste to get this product out the door this morning, I forgot to send the post to our copy-editors. I screwed up. Sorry :( I certainly won't be making that mistake again.
- hippo33 14y agoActually, those are correct. "a couple writers" and "a couple of writers" are both grammatically correct. "its completion" -> "it's completion" is just wrong. "It is completion" is not the intent of the sentence.
- jabbernotty 14y agoYou are certainly right about the "its". I have an annoying habit of incorrectly correcting people.
