New feature to debut – longform posts

Starting in the next few days, we will institute a new feature on The Bluegrass Blog – long form posts. These will be articles which notably exceed our typical posts in length and which feature substantial content that is wholly original to one of our authors, or involving the results of our independent research.

Because of the length of these features, only a brief synopsis of the content will display on the font page, along with this longform graphic and a link to display the entire article. In some cases, photos will accompany the longform piece and we may open them to comments if the content suggests it.

Like our sporadic audio podcasts, longform posts will be published as the opportunity arises, and not on any specific schedule or frequency.
