We're back to normal, and have got the contributions to show for it. A dramatic increase and influx of new and new-ish contributors have combined to bring the volume of contributions to a height we've not seen since mid-November. And, happily, this rise did not bring with it any significant drop in quality! Let's dig into the numbers, shall we?
The Scores
While this week hasn't reached the scoring heights of last week, I'm quite pleased to say that it maintained the level of quality I've grown accustomed to, even displaying a slight increase in the Blog category scores when discounting irrelevant posts (well, one irrelevant, and one by a banned poster). #iamutopian remains the very image of stability.
Top Contribution
Most weeks, the Blog category staff pick and the highest scored post are the same. This week, I took option B, and selected a highly scored post by solid veteran contributor 
Contributors and Contributions
While not unexpected, it is certainly great to see the number of contributions rebound after the holiday doldrums. Amazingly, not only did the quality remain high, we also didn't have a big batch of irrelevants.

Days and Hours
Eagle-eyed readers will note that I've changed the Reviews Per Day graph to more accurately reflect the Utopian week. Thursday is the true start of our week. Last week was certainly a busy one for our reviewers.
Tip of the Week: Work on your grammar
Writing is like any other skill: You learn by doing. The more you write, the better you get. Especially if you take feedback in, and try to implement it. However, like any other skill, you can improve significantly by studying. Specifically when it comes to grammar and sentence structure. This week, I am going to recommend the British Council's LearnEnglish site. Specifically, the Clause, phrase and sentence portion of their grammar section. If you go through all of the sections, and do the exercises, I can pretty much guarantee you will see some improvement in your writing.
Final Thoughts
It's great to see the category back to normal. While I've still been busy with various things related to my role as Utopian CCO, everyone else has stepped up. It's a thing of beauty to behold.
