A new feature: Q&A

I get a lot of comments on this site every week, and lately it’s dawned on me that many of those comments are actually questions. I usually try to answer the question with a follow-up comment, if I can. But that means that the question and answer reach only a tiny percentage of the people who actually visit here.

So, beginning today, I have a new policy – and a new feature. If I find a question in the comments, I’ll answer it in a Q&A post, where everyone can see it and follow up on it.

And don’t feel like you have to leave a comment if you have a question. I’m also going to create an Ask Ed form and e-mail alias where you can send me questions. Those will appear in the sidebar along the right.

Coming up next, the first installment.
