I'm seriously thinking about removing the widget, in fact, since I'm not sure there's anything to be gained for the reader. (I'm always testing/evaluating something or another on Maven.)

I didn't give her credit for it in user experience because I'm not sure what it adds, but it was enough to give her a boost in community. Hi Joanna,

Thanks to your first round pointers I did some much needed work on the archives but you've hit my achilles heel again this time round - headlines could do with some polishing up right enough. This month's been ultra-participatory with lots of guest posts and bundles of one-line definitions for me to include rather than me writing a lot of my own material, and I think that's seen me taking me eye off the headline writing ball. Interested in your comment on twitter - I deliberately don't include it on my site as I think it's distracting and difficult to follow without being able to follow the @ threads which you only get from the twitter site. I wonder what other people think about this one? Roberta, thanks for your comments. I didn't want to compete against someone I knew either, but I guess none of us have had too much say in how this competition's been unfolding... Joanna John, I’ll echo these comments, these critiques go from strength to strength, with loads for us all to learn from them.

I didn't mean to make you compete with yourself. It was late when I finished this and my brain had stopped functioning properly. I have fixed my mistake. No extra point though... sorry. Roberta,

Just one thing ... you must have really loved my post, even though you didn't like the title, because you noted "Holding Firm" as having appeared in both Confident and Maven. But I promise not to hold it against you. (But can I get an extra point? :) Um, John?

I enjoyed our bit of competition! John, this was a terrific analysis of our work and there's much I'll be pondering in the weeks ahead. Copywriting Maven, blog and writer, are always a work in progress. Thanks for the push toward further evolution. Joanna – congrats! I enjoyed our bit of competition!
