I go to great lengths to add enticing drop caps to my posts which look lovely on screen. But when feedblitz delivers the email version of the posts any images I might have carefully placed 'align=right' are dumped unceremoniously on the left of the page with no white space to separate them from the text, making them look exceptionally ugly and me very unprofessional.
And GreatNews, my feedreader of choice, doesn't show the drop caps. Go figure...
Just keep it as it is and we will love you anyway. After all, as we all said back in 1998, "Content is King on the web"
Not sure I agree with the nearly 10k - I put it at much higher than that. There are 3.1m active participants, of which we are (using April's stats, not May's) 2.43% = 75,000. Okay, so 10% of them is 7.5k, but I would think that the 'active' number is higher than 10%, seeing as how much emotional and physical energy one invests in being a part of the 3.1m active participants.
