The Sci Blog Conference article in Raleigh News & Observer is now online

Posted on January 21, 2007 by | 5 Comments

It must be hard writing a report on a conference where one of the most frequently voiced opinions is that mainstream media reports always get science stories wrong! But, Kristin Collins did a great job describing what just transpired on UNC campus at the Science Blogging Conference in this article (free registration may be required).
Update: The article was re-published in Charleston (SC) Post and Courier: Scientists hope blogging brings discoveries to the masses
Update 2: Syndication works like a charm: Houston Chronicle: Scientists hope blogging boosts public’s interest

    I need to ask an infinitely stupid queston.
    For technorati tags — do we just add plain text “Technorati Tag: etc” to the bottom of the post?
    I don’t see “tags” as a standard part of wordpress blogs, so I haven’t been adding it.

    If you click on the tag link on the bottom of my post, there is a small field on the bottom right of the page that syas “See your post here”… or something that gives you a short piece of code to place inside your post.

    Bora, you’ve apparently inadvertently clipped the “h” off of “http” in the Charleston Post-Courier link.

    Thanks. I got the wrong url as I just copied it from Paul Jones.

    A tip for Rob and other wordpress users: in WordPress, categories are automatically treated as tags by Technorati. So if you add a category called sciencebloggingconference it just works through the magic of technology!
    I didn’t want the category to be part of my menu, and I could remove it in the thingamabob that I have that shows categories as a cloud, but that’s not a standard WordPress thing, so I don’t really know if you can hide it using regular display.
