glaring issues with it. The reddit link is at [2].

Nice read.  I must say Mike's doing a great job running the blog 
so far.  Perhaps it's for the best I never got the D blog running 
back when I suggested it a couple years back, though I hope to 
contribute to this one soon.

Thanks, Joakim! Looking forward to that contribution. The post 
queue is in a bit of an uncertain state at the moment.

Can anyone who likes and uses D contribute to the blog, or is it 
only for, say, core D team members? and if the former, are there 
any kinds of posts that you are looking for or prefer?

A.D.Ruppe is not in the dlang GH organization but he's an old and 
notorious user.
I think it's also for people who knows themselves a bit, e.g 
DConf speakers, people who has something to say. About that I 
find the last post middly interesting.

no·to·ri·ous
[nōˈtôrēəs]
ADJECTIVE

     famous or well known, typically for some bad quality or deed:

"Adam is notorious for his crappy hacked-together code."

No you see, he's IN-famous. IN-famous is when you're MORE than famous. 
This man, Adam Ruppe, he's not just famous, he's IN-famous.

There are two goals behind the blog: to market D to the world at 
large and to let users know what's going on in the community. 
Interesting content that furthers either goal is always welcome, 
but I make no promises to publish any and all submissions.

If you've got a D project you'd like to discuss, I'm open to 
putting together a project highlight [1]. If you've got a 
specific technical challenge you overcame in D that you'd like to 
write about, then a guest post like this one [2] would be really 
nice to see. And we can discuss any other type of content you 
have in mind.

You can send ideas to aldacron gmail.com and I'll let you know. 
For the record, most of the content so far has come from me 
bothering people. A couple of posts were at Andrei's suggestion. 
Only two others have contacted me out of the blue with ideas. I 
said yes to both, which should result in two posts in the coming 
weeks. So the acceptance rate so far is 100% :)

Thanks, H Loom and Mike. Fair enough.
