Every post gets two numbers from 1 to 5. They say what kind of post it is, not how good it is.

  1. 1 of 5. Practical. Something you can implement directly.

  2. 2 of 5. Mostly practical. Something to implement, with the idea behind it.

  3. 3 of 5. Between practical and conceptual. An idea, and a way to put it to work.

  4. 4 of 5. Mostly conceptual. An idea to think with, and an example of where it helps.
