Thanks a lot, that blog post looks very good to me!
... just the width of the qemu-debian-wheezy-gui-with-haxm.png image
seems to cause some rendering ugliness in my webbrowser, causing the
text to overflow into the right menu:

http://people.redhat.com/~thuth/screenshot-haxm-blog.png

Would it be OK to remove the qemu-debian-wheezy-gui-with-haxm.png from
the blog post?

Alternatively, this seems to fix the rendering problem, too:


Paolo, does that look OK for you?

 Thomas

Yes, I'm fine with removing it.  Sorry I haven't installed Jekyll and 
didn't test the rendering.

Would you confirm whether that's the only change I need to make in v2?

No need to respin, since this was just a one-line change, I was able to
do it on my own (I still removed the screenshot, even if it seemed to be
working with Paolo's patch to the CSS, since the screenshot looked just
a bit too big for the blog - I hope that's OK for you).

So the blog post is now online:

Thanks again,
 Thomas
