Very entertaining post on the Budapest Gambit. I used to play this OTB, but I have never played the rook-move.
Perhaps you can write an article on the Latvian. This is one of my favourite gambits, but I rarely play it in correspondence as there is too much winning theory for white.

The images are of good quality and scales well. You can choose colors and you don't need to fiddle around with graphic files by yourself. If you also want to generate graphic files, you can do it with that one.

Hehe, that's why I never understood blogging. It's free work. But anyway, good work gives interesting reads. I assume that is what bloggers want to achieve? I also think that it's not about "digging deeper" into the positions, but explaining things with three sentences instead of one. I think we all hate when authors end with just "black is worse" or something similiar when it could have said "black is worse because of the mis-placed knight and white's has better activity" or something like that.. of course it ain't always that simple and you must sometimes examine many variations to reach those conclusions, but it should also be possible to generalize those and just answer the question "why?" a bit more often.
