Hey, one more quick suggestion.

It’s neat that we have a Blockchain category on the site, but it is a very narrow topic. I think it makes more sense to create a Technology category and do one of the following with the current Blockchain category:

1. Move it as a sub-category of Technology category, OR

@jwf

Move Blockchain posts to Technology , give them a blockchain tag, delete Blockchain category

This is now done. I consolidated the two blockchain threads down into a more broadly defined Technology and Open Source category.

So much better. Great work @jwf!
