Ian, I liked both posts. Thanks for sharing.
As for reaching more people: I have one idea. I regularly listen to thew Ruby 5 podcast and they often say something like: “John Suchother wrote to let us know about his blog post on…”. You might try that. I am betting that you can get a lot of traffic from that. -- Ylan Segal [email protected] > On Oct 29, 2014, at 4:03 PM, Ian Young <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hey all, > > I just published a blog post on solving common Ruby environment problems, > like the oh-so-frequent "you have activated version x.y.z of this gem, > but..."
