Anyway, I set out to learn about these blog things . . . and I was not impressed. Most of them seem poorly written and unorganized. Most appear to be right wing political diatribes, or self-centered gabbing about nothing in particular, or recursive comments about the blogosphere itself. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.
congrats. this here is a nail, and thats a rather large hammer in your hand, and you connected the two quite well. the majority of the "blogosphere" (puke) is just that. there are some sites dedicated to new that are or were pretty big. i used to be on agonist a bunch before they changed things around (scoop.agonist.org, no www. ). and i used to post a bunch of "fringe" science stuff, but, since we had a few "real" scientists, that got ignored. my suggestion, if you see that youve been linked by a blog, go there, sign up, add a link on your website back to that blog, and talk with people on the commenting systems. that will draw people. that, and you can make your own blog. recent things that have come up, news items you got from vortex, ect, with your own thoughts and comments, and a space for people to comment. theres lots of canned blogging programs. find a blog you like the looks of, and search the faq, youll usually find some info on how they put their blog together.
