Beware of those who say they help entrepreneurs

The author makes a lot of good points. Its true that a lot of the officials who claim to be attempting to help entrepreneurs don't have any entrepreneurial experience themselves and that hurts their ability to help.

Unfortunately, the random bolding of words really detracts from the content of the author's writing.

You mean blogese isn't your first language. ;-) The commenter above was referring to the abuse of <strong> tags.

ah damn, my bad, hehe well, I know a lot of people that do fast reading and having it in bold makes this easier, but yeah, maybe this time I over exceeded myself :P

You have to commit to one audience, I guess.

Could you clarify what you mean by "fast reading"? I read very quickly and it was like speedbumps for my eyes. If the article hadn't been short enough to fit on one screen I think I would have been annoyed enough to not finish it.

Not that I used that, but I'm a diagonal reader myself and I do appreciate the bold parts. But as I said before, there are 2 things that don't work too well, which is, the current blog theme isn't great and too much bold parts on my side.

Interesting, thank you. It got me thinking about and paying attention to how I read things, and that I will read them very differently depending on the source.

Articles linked from HN fall into the 'fast but linear' category. Maybe if I'd ran across your article form a source I give less weight to the bold wouldn't have bothered me ...

:) Well, It does seem to have too much bold, so next time I'll make it just a few parts to avoid breaking people's flow :)
