    • A guide to the best 100 blogs

      A guide to the best 100 blogs was the cover story in the Sunday Times Culture Magazine today

      The accompanying article gets off to a good start – the opening sentence reflects the opinion of at least one NN blogger. Bryan Appleyard attempts to capture the spirit of blogging, contrasting it with other forms of publication. I think that he explains what blogging means to him. I don’t think that his perspective can be generalized to all bloggers.

      The article rounds off with a list of The Best 100 Blogs, by catagory:

      I like to think that we have all of those covered here on Nature Network.

          You see, that was what I thought. I wanted to link a post of yours, but there were too many to choose…

          Actually, you raise a serious point. For the sake of technorati, et. al, links to people rather than a post should be to the blog name not the profile page. It’s slightly tricky on NN, but it will be fixed when we get MT4.

          I think science will be in part 2 next week. Several people recommended some good science blogs to Bryan when he was preparing this article (mentions no names, but NN was among those suggested…..)

          Ah, I hadn’t realised the list was TBC – I look forward to seeing which whether any NN bloggers made the cut.

          We assume it’s TBC but there’s no actual evidence for that apart from the title!
