I'll take this opportunity to say I think it's probably normal for posts/nodes in a knowledge network like this to spike quickly (as word about the site gets around) and then taper slowly off to a consistent lower rate. So many things have been said so well here that many threads become a discussion of which past threads make the best examples for a particular situation. Searching PerlMonks probably accounts for a great many answers that in 2002 would have required a fresh post.
That recently we've seen an upward trend since about November and perhaps August (month over month and year over year) is a promising sign. However, I think that we slowed somewhat in posts from 2002 to 2006 isn't a drastic problem.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
