You might want to add a space between “Bad Apples” and “The Applied Apple Approach.” It looks like it’s all one story the way it’s laid out right now.
As always, thanks for setting this up! 🙂

YES! I love the new theme!
Was there another comment here earlier pointing out that the lack of space between ‘Bad Apple’ and ‘The Applied Apple Approach’ makes them look like the same story? Would you mind fixing it, please?
