[theme-reviewers] Make blog post

[Chip Bennett]

The idea of being a part of a community is the reason I suggested an Open
Discussion thread on Make/Themes: a place for the team to talk about
anything of general/common interest. I agree that it's very important to
foster the element of community.

Part of the reason that I recommend using the Make/Themes site is that we
are moving toward Make/Themes being the community hub for the Theme Review
Team. It is much more open, accessible, and searchable than a mail list,
and much easier to maintain discussions, to post tutorials, etc.

Ultimately, I would like to have the mail-list reserved for Theme Review
Team "business": things specifically related to conducting reviews -
admin-related tasks such as ticket help/reassignment requests, and the like.

Personally, I definitely intend to post more tutorials on Make/Themes. I
just posted one last week, though it didn't generate much traffic.

PS you and @tskk should have gotten email invites for Make/Themes. Watch
for Emil's forthcoming announcement. :)
