PF Insights, the new official blog of Physics Forums, is now live and aims to provide a diverse range of casual and technical commentary on science and math topics. The blog will feature contributions from community members, covering everything from personal experiences at research facilities to reviews of popular science books and tutorials. The team is actively seeking additional writers with at least a bachelor's degree in a science field, though exceptions may be made. Community engagement is encouraged, with suggestions for topics and a request section planned to help guide content creation. The blog has already gained attention and positive feedback, showcasing the community's rich knowledge and insights.

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!

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.

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.
