Don't get me wrong, I highly encourage learning activities like this; what bugs me a lot is that it's sold as a "how-to" instead of "I am tracking progress of what I'm experimenting with." It's a rather fine line to ride, sure, but as I'm sure you see everywhere in software, someone who may not know any better may come along, and repeat the blogger's mistakes without ever knowing better. I think you have to set the bar high if you're going to make a "how-to" to really ensure best practices are there, because you honestly don't know how or where what you've written will get used.
