Toward a More Beautiful Blog

by Sean Carroll

We’ve tweaked the blog template once more, and things continue to look better. This time we’ve re-arranged the format of the posts so that the top features just the name of the poster, and all the clutter is at the bottom. And you can click on “N comments” to actually be taken to the comments!

By “we,” of course I mean the web gurus at Discover — your humble bloggers didn’t have to do a damn thing. Thanks, all.

    Hi, Sean

    Maybe you can continue to improve this blog by making it audible.
    Check out this web devise: http://www.odiogo.com/
    It would be very helpful for readers like me who are too lazy to spend much time reading.

    Perhaps the new blog will actually show my posts – which never seem to appear ( probably because they question the string theory orthodoxy ). Well, here goes, maybe this will be posted ( fingers crossed).

    Yes, impressive web gurus, finally doing what should have been done at the outset :-P

    Can’t say that I pay much attention to these things. But I’ll take your word for it being an improvement.

    How about some sort of twitter widget where you can send a link to share with followers on twitter? Or even a widget to display your twitter feeds?





    • Cosmic Variance Cosmic Variance is a group blog by people who, coincidentally or not, all happen to be physicists and astrophysicists:
      • Daniel Holz
      • JoAnne Hewett
      • John Conway
      • Julianne Dalcanton
      • Mark Trodden
      • Risa Wechsler
      • Sean Carroll
      Our day (and night) jobs notwithstanding, the blog is about whatever we find interesting — science, to be sure, but also arts, politics, culture, technology, academia, and miscellaneous trivia. We have similar outlooks on many things, widely disparate opinions about others, and will do our best to keep the discourse reasonably elevated.
