Just wanted to point out that yesterday’s crop of nibbles was really very rich. I have a feeling that they sometimes get overlooked, with their small typeface, there on the right of the page. Do have a look. There’s more on the saga of that organic report, and much more.
Mapping our blogging
On slow news days my mind turns to things meta. So here’s a map of our agrobiodiversity blogging. You can get a better, interactive one by clicking “Map” up on the menu bar at the top of the page.
Considering we haven’t been geo-referencing from the beginning, I think that’s not too bad a geographic coverage of the world’s agriculture. A few gaps, though. We’ll see what we can do about that.
Housekeeping notes: We’re back
Apologies to anyone who tried to look at the site over the past couple of days and saw the enigmatic message “It Works!”. We had not in fact been hacked. It was a hangover from earlier attempts to migrate to a new server. Unfortunately the server administrator was on holiday, so there was nothing we could do about it. The first thing he did on his return was to get everything operational, even if the site isn’t quite as pretty as it might have been. Or is it better? Let us know. About other stuff too.
More tweaks later, if necessary.
Don’t show us the money
OK, you have spoken. We won’t place adverts on the site, for now. While we recognize our right to do so, we note also that we exist to serve you, our readers. The poll can stay up a little longer, just for fun.
