B&N summation
There's a nice summation up on the B&N blog about starting the Vorkosigan series,

but alas they mix up the novella "The Borders of Infinity" with the collection Borders of Infinity, the way you do, you know. If I'd known back when how much confusion those two similar titles were going to create in the future, I'd have named the collection something else, but, too late now.
The link the poster was trying for was this one: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/borde...
Feel free to correct it in the comments, I suppose. It wouldn't let me log on without signing up for stuff.

At the beginning with Shards of Honor. Then read each one as they were published. Although I think I read Free Falling when it was first published but did not at the time equate it as being part of the Vor series. I re-read them this summer in the order you had listed in your page/blog in preparation for the release of Gentleman Jole and the Red Queen, which I read yesterday. (I posted a review of it on Goodreads and Amazon.)
I discovered Lois with a random loan of Komarr. Her books stand alone enough that all that did was give me hunger to know more about her writing. That being said I'd recommend starting with Cordelia's story. My favorite aspects of her writing are:#1 Humor
#2Wisdom
#3 I cry when characters die.

I started the re-read to celebrate the publication of Gentleman Jole and the Red Queen (which I read in e-arc form), and also because I didn't remember Jole at all, so it was pretty interesting meeting him in TVG for the first time, with the added knowledge. I'll end the re-read with the signed GJatRQ I received a few days ago ! (The signed versions were still available, so I decided to treat myself !)
Thank you so much for that fantastic addition.
