MetaFilter Guided Tours
MeFi Guided Tours is a Tumblr that I'm writing that takes comments from Metafilter that are really awesome and builds posts around them, adding context so they can be understood without reading a whole thread. I plan to write up a few that I like a lot, and to start writing about whole threads more. Also, since I haven't read as much of MetaFilter as some of you guys I'm accepting submissions if anyone has any ideas.

This is a bit too weird for me. It's like a metafilter of metafilter. Makes my head hurt. This said, I like the "best of the best" idea.

Huh, Metafilter Director Commentary. I'll keep an eye on this.

Not bad - I saw, read to the end and wanted more.

In IE, the first part of each post gets cut off by the sidebar -- in other words, I lose about the first letter of every line, which is kind of irritating. (Cool project, though!)

I've changed the theme. Since I'm on a Mac I can't see how it looks in IE, so if someone could check I'd be happy!

I like it! I might also steal the theme if its publicly available.

I love this idea. Salute to your passion and hard work! There was on ask mefi post about specific advice for a 30 something person. That would be great for this project.

The theme I'm using is a slightly modified version of langer.tumblr.
