Review: To create a better post...
use:
a short and enticing title
an irresistible excerpt that summarizes
fresh content (check your dates)
post "categories"
a featured image that adds value
and write with:
the reader's perspective (what should they know, feel, do?)
active voice
a welcoming, helpful and calm tone (no caps and !)
clear language (no jargon)
help from trusted eyes (spell-/grammar-check, test links)
We're almost there to our goal...
Frontier is going away and
FTP is already gone!

Faculty profiles
