Hey Guys, awesome show!

i think you should have a small cms battle, wordpress vs expression engine, the pros and cons of both.

Keep up the good work!

Very Cool!
My view on underscore vs hyphens - underscores are less visible, and when using them in post links such as
http://my-awsome.com/web-site-is-here
underscores are hidden via the underline

@Scott MacDonald That would be epic for sure. Maybe we’ll enlist Mr. Coyier on the WordPress side

Haha Awesome Show!

I prefer hyphens only because it only takes one finger, instead of the awkward ‘pinky-plant finger-stretch’ technique. It’s mostly because I wouldn’t want anyone to get carpal-tunnel typing out my URLs… lol

@ORyan isn’t it funny that the pinky stretch is a huge part of the determining factor?

Awesome show as usual! According to Matt Cutts, hyphens are better if you want Google to see the individual words: http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/dashes-vs-underscores
