Aaaaaargh. I am a terrible person who never keeps promises. I’d been planning to do a series of “If You Like…” posts, but I never seem to carve out enough time to give them the attention they deserve. To that end, I’m going to post some suggestions gathered from a couple of chats, without comment. (Note that most of these suggestions are from other chatters, so if you don’t agree with these recommendations, blame somebody else.)
