This sentence greets you in some way. This sentence tells you that the author is about to tell you what she is going to write about. This sentence makes reference to the fact that you commented 172 times on Riese’s article about Google Instant. [This is a special note from the author to let you know that you should read all the comments on that article because they are very interesting and provoking but unfortunately could not all win an award]
This sentence links you to a guide for albums released on September 14 that you might like. This sentence links you to an article about PYT which makes you think “What is PYT?” and then you click on that link to find out. This sentence cleverly combines links to Laneia’s article about cutting up your t-shirt and the announcement that AUTOSTRADDLE IS NOW SELLING T-SHIRTS.
This sentence contains another special note from the author urging you to read this article and its comments about how sometimes the world is mean but many things are made better by a group hug. The author apologizes for not being able to give all the group huggers a comment award, but expresses hope that this special mention will be enough. The author also includes a picture of kittens hugging to distract raging commenters.
