Category: Housekeeping

Has it really been a year? I suppose it has. Anyway, I’ve taken the opportunity to do a little housekeeping, upgrading to a new version of WordPress. Problem is, the real job calls and there are a couple of things I still need to sort out, like instructions for subscribing and getting rid of that goofy popularity rating thing.

We’re not going to overdo the celebrations here, but you could take the opportunity to sling us a few comments. What do you like? What do you hate? What would you like us to do that we don’t?

I’ve just realized that, amazingly, that last post was our 1,000th. We’ve been going on about agrobiodiversity for almost exactly a year. An opportunity for serious reflection? Or for a beer.

Enjoy our work? Think it might, marginally, be science? Then why not vote for us over at The Scientist’s beauty contest?

UPDATE: Four votes! Thanks, everyone!

FINAL UPDATE: A week is quite long enough to be soliciting favours like this.

Just updated WordPress, the software behind the site. I’ve checked everything I can think of, and it all seems to work. If something’s not as you expected, just holler.

One great resource for doing that is the Swedish-based Agricultural Biodiversity Weblog, which I recently added to my blog diet. Many of the stories you’ll find there have been written up elsewhere (often on Worldchanging), but I don’t know of any other news-aggregator-style blog that covers the subject so well. If you’re into this subject, you should be reading it.

Thanks to Alex Steffen at WorldChanging, to which I have long subscribed. Seriously, it’s always nice to be appreciated.

p.s. Alex, You can’t believe everything you read in a domain name.
