Will there be a link in the INSIGHTS tab?

Will there be a link in the INSIGHTS tab?

At the moment it's in the nav inside Insights. Do you think there should be one for the forums drop down?

 

[Borg]

I continued to look around and saw that it was on the Articles page. So, if even I could find it, it's probably easy to find.

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

Been thinking of writing an Insight? Now is the time with our yearly awards coming in two weeks!

Over 330 Insights! Always looking for new writers. Apply today!

I have redone the menu and categories for Insights. The old way you could either select a category like math or a format like tutorial. The problem was you couldn't select math tutorials. Now you can!

Insights is such a great resource. I hope everyone is reading and sharing what they find!

What is the policy regarding an Insight submission that covers similar ground (perhaps with similarity in language and style) as the author's blog, or a document that they have posted to arXiv etc?

No problem whatsoever as long as the content is not exactly the same.

488 Insights! Can we get there by Easter? I think so!

[Greg Bernhardt]

PF Insights has hit 500 articles!
https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

515 articles, what an incredible resource we have!
https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

A few Insights changes!

1. The top nav reflects the field instead of the format
2. The homepage has a new layout with the newest post getting the largest top left spot with the right side containing trending content. This is ordered by views over the past 30 days.
3. The root links in the top nav now go to a special root field page that displays the newest posts on the left and trending content for the field on the right.

The field-format pages are still grid layout and ordered by post date.

Enjoy!

Thanks to you Greg.

Thanks to you Greg.

Incorrect, thanks to all the amazing writers

Okay. You're correct. I was just thinking about you creating this amazing site.

Incorrect, thanks to all the amazing writers

It's both ways. Without you, the authors would not have a good place to write, and even if some of us wrote elsewhere, it would probably not have got the attention that PF gave it.

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

Nearing 650 articles. Since 2014 the articles have had nearly 1.4 million views!

That really is impressive. Most that I have read are excellent. Kudos
It is my firm intent to write an insight "The Art of Procrastination" in the very near future.
