Jalaj, thanks for the compliments. I have to confess as well – I don’t use IE6, but I’ll check the comment section there and fix the problem – thanks for letting me know about it.

Stephen, I’m glad that your comment wasn’t flagged as a spam due to all those links. To be honest, this is the first time I’ve seen such a long and details signature on a blog (and even on forums). The only thing is missing is the address :-) (sorry, just couldn’t resist)
Thanks for your praise. Good luck with your blog. I’m sure that one day you too will find your loyal audience.

Very nice interview, Vivien. John’s a good guy. He’s done something commendable: brought a lot of people into an “inside baseball” kind of subject. He’s got a good grasp of the subject and how to make it fun, as well as some design licks. i wish I had his knack for attracting readers to my blog.

And you’ve got the interesting question thing down pretty well, Vivien. Your questions are good. They allow John to reveal a good bit of who he is and what he’s about.

Kudos all the way around.

That is a great interview (a confession : I completed reading it only after spending an hour at John’s sites)… Thanks for coming up with that… hope I would get to know about more sites/blogs from you in coming days (and previous posts)…

Typing a comment here is rather problamatic using IE6 due to cursor color matching the background (firefox renders fine, not sure about IE7)

thanks, Lauren. I too am glad that John has started iLT. It is so rare to find people who are as passionate and knowledgeable about the topic of their blog as John is.

That was fun! I’m glad you interviewed him, Vivien! I can’t believe his success with iLT. It’s amazing how many subscribers he’s built up over a short amount of time. I’m happy for John and I’m glad he started iLT!
