It all looks well worth spending time on but I'm bothered about the cookie policy. Whereas some websites let you choose to accept or reject all but "essential" cookies, John's, though hosted in wordpress.com, just offers a link to "Cookie Policy", which turns out to be in an entirely different domain, automattic.com, and with no facility for being selective other than by blocking them in the browser. If I wish to do that, do I tell the browser to block cookies from wordpress.com or from automattic.com?
