Wow, that was fast. I would write, but I'm not sure that I could add much. Maybe in the near future, after I get a feel for what is appropriate.

JamesU

my password was never emailed to me (?) does anyone else have this problem...?

dextercioby

Yes,how about you post your e-mail address & your password and let me do some research...?

I'm sure i could see what the problem really is.

Daniel.

JamesU

okay, I got it. it says my username is yo\\\' mamma and it tells me my password but it says incorect username. I've tried:
yomamma
yo'mamma
yo' mamma
yo'\\\mamma
etc.

i am just wondering. What kind of texts do you guys want for the content of this blog ? I mean shouldn't it be about the science and not some guy's personal favourite QM-textbooks ? What is the use in that ? Just wondering...

I do think this is a great initiative with lots of potential, Greg.

No, that is exactly what people like about blogs -- reading entertaining/controversial opinions from people they know and respect. A blog is not a replacement for a news service, it is more like a talk radio station.

I couldn't have explained it better myself!

Lisa!

What do you mean yomamma?For sure you've chosen your username by yourself.so how don't you know what it is?! (1 thing I forgot to mention,yomamma is a n00b there even if you change it alittle there! )

marlon

ohh, so it is about personal opinions. Ok, did not realize that. I thought is was gonna be about science.

Thanks for clarifying that.

If i wanna share an opinion on this blog, how do i do this ?

regards and thanks again

It is about science, think talk radio for science. Here are some blog examples to see the format and writing style of blogs:

Think about the difference between CNN, and Rush Limbaugh. CNN is just supposed to report the news, as objectively as they can. Rush Limbaugh reports the news and then comments on it, usually in a controversial manner. Whether you agree with him or not, you listen because you find it entertaining, or because you love to hate him. A science blog is about science in the same way that Limbaugh's radio show is about politics.

Here are two examples of science bloggers who are controversial in an intelligent way: Peter Woit and Lubos Motl. Their blogs are mainly about string theory -- Lubos is a supporter, Peter is a critic (kind of like "Crossfire" for physics). I find them entertaining reads even though I don't understand half of what they are talking about!
