Some proofreading issues aside, I like the variety you offer here, Cynthia. I would have liked to see you explaining a bit more about what each of these offer that is unique from one another, but this is a solid overview nonetheless.
ps. I wish DHOxSS were free! Students have to pay tuition, although it’s always free to follow their hashtags and see what people are learning 🙂
