Never create a blog post that doesn't have a link to an explanation of the product. The whole point of advertising your blog on here is to get people interested in your work. If you don't explain the work, or link to an explanation, people will just click away.

1) that is not my blog is Dmitry Baranovskiy`s blog (the creator of Raphaël JavaScript library - http://raphaeljs.com/ )

2) "that doesn't have a link to an explanation of the product" ??? -> there are explanations, end even demos about Raphaël version 1.5 :|

that doesn't have a link to an explanation of the product

It has demos. It's has example code. But it doesn't say what the library is meant to do. A quick one-line "Hey, we've released v1.5 of our awesome vector graphics Javascript library" would've been enough.

now i understand, sorry about that, and tnx for explanation, i`ll try not to make that mistake again :)

Well I guess this is buried in the site but there is a link to http://raphaeljs.com/ which explains what the raphaeljs library is all about. I see your point though.
