A small update to our article layout this morning that we hope makes it a little easier to give a shout-out to those authors whose articles have helped you the most.

Directly under each article's title is the article's current rating and to the right of that we've moved the Like/Tweet/+1 links as well as the rating control.

We've always had the voting buttons at the end of the article under the premise that voting shouldn't happen until you've read the whole thing, but we've had to admit that even we were getting tired of hunting for the voting buttons. While we were at it we figured a little social network lovin' wouldn't go astray for the authors either. Share the knowledge and share the links of those articles that gave you that "ah ha!" moment.

cheers,
Chris Maunder
