We’ve done a little much-needed upgrading, to the way the site works and the way it looks. A crack team of test elves swarmed all over the site, and didn’t report anything broken, but some of them are pretty slack. So if you find something that isn’t quite right, let us know.
Also, in response to a demand, we’ve put in a Category Cloud, which indicates what we write about. Personally, I find it a trifle misleading, but that’s a discussion we need to have among ourselves. Your thoughts, however, are most welcome. Thanks.
Genetically uniform bloggers
Throwing caution, and the principles of risk management, to the wind, agro.agro.biodiver.se bloggers gathered in a single location last week, and there’s the photograph to prove it. We won’t bother to name names, or to draw attention to the huge lack of diversity assembled. We will note that we all ate something different although we all drank the same stuff. And had a jolly good time.
Help me find a link, please
UPDATE: The internet is a wonderful thing … thanks to Aaron Cummins, I have an answer … SPIN-Farming.
Ok, I admit it, I’ve failed, and I need your help. Some time ago I linked to some folks in the US who offer courses in intensive horticulture, the kind that can make a small urban vegetable farm a profitable enterprise. But now that I want to find them, I can’t, and every search I’ve tried doesn’t reveal any more. Are you those folks? Get in touch. Do you remember who they were? Give me a clue. Please. Thank you.
Agrobiodiversity gets new blogger!
The more eagle-eyed among you may have noticed, looking at the byline of the previous post, that we have a new regular contributor. He’s Robert Hijmans, and he has in fact written for us before, most memorably his tour-de-force liveblogging from the recent Harlan II Symposium. Welcome to the team, Robert.
The King greets Happy Day
Sing it loud, we’re two and proud.
How time flies while you’re having fun. Agro.agro.biodiver.se is two years old today. We’ve given ourselves and (we hope) you the gift of a fresh new look. ((Except for users of Internet Explorer, for whom it looks atrocious. I’ll fix this in about 10 hours. Meanwhile, get yourself a decent, standards-compliant browser.)) ((I think I fixed it, but I can’t be sure until someone checks and lets me know. I had to move the navigation menu above the header, which is not really where I want it, but it’ll do for a quick fix.))
What do you think?
