A note that if you’re interested in commenting at SMS or, soon, SMD, we just upgraded our commenting section with Disqus to allow readers to instantly share their insights with friends on their social networks, if they so choose.

Commenting is easy:

1. Type a comment into the Disqus box,
2. Click “Post As,”
3. Choose your preferred commenting service, and
4. Post.

Voila! The conversation continues.

Also, a big thanks to all of our Show-Me readers. Site traffic this year is way, way over what we’ve ever done before. You’ve been fantastic.
