[webkit-dev] Blog post(s) about layout tests

[Ojan Vafai]

Looks great to me. I think web developers are interested in browser
testing and this can be a resource we point them to in order to help
them understand how to write good reduced test cases. In fact, a post
about writing good reduced test cases for bugs would be a great
followup.
