A big announcement this morning: Myrmecos has joined ScienceBlogs. Update your bookmarks! The new URL is:
http://scienceblogs.com/myrmecos/
The move has been in the making for nearly a year. I guest blogged at SB’s “Photo Synthesis” last April and was invited to stay on, but I resisted for a variety of reasons. Perhaps the biggest is that I’m rather fond of WordPress as a blogging platform. I like this blog as it is, where it is, and embedded within the warm fuzzy environs of the (mostly wordpress) nature-blogging community.
But it seemed increasingly short-sighted to forgo the greater visibility of ScienceBlogs for such curmudgeonly reasons. After all, it’s not like none of my regular readers (that’s you, Mom!) will be able to find the new location over at ScienceBlogs. Plus, I was able to move the entire archive over- comments and all.
What will change with the move? Aside from the font, my hope is not much at all. We’ll have Friday Beetles, Monday Mysteries, a bit of photography and commentary on the scientific literature. Taxonomy Fails, both mine and others. Occasional photographs of our cat. So, we’ll keep doing what we’ve been doing. See you over there!
Now that you are about to become a famous celebrity, will you start hanging out with Paris and Britney?
Ug. Just, ug.
My heartiest congratulations – you’ve hit the big time!
Thanks Ted! I’ll be sending some traffic your way every now and again, if I can swing it.
Thanks, Alex – although you’ve been doing a great job at that already for some time now!
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! Signing with a major record label, the end of indie blogging.
yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssssss
Now I get to fly around the world in a private blog jet, but only if I agree to blog about squid.
w00t
Whoohoo! It’s about time there was somebody on Scienceblogs that actually concentrated on bugs!
Great news, Alex!
Congrats! The new site looks super sharp!
What’s Your cat done now.
Now that spring is here, he spends most of his waking hours yelling at us because we’re not letting him out.
Congrats, Alex–your kick-off of Photo Synthesis was never matched or exceeded, so I am not surprised that ScienceBlogs continued to court you!
This is wonderful news Alex! Congratulations! Your blog is the first thing I look at after my emails everyday to read your new posts and to see your great macrophotography! Keep up the good work and congrats again!
Myrmecos will be a fantastic addition to the Borg, congrats!
Congrats from a closet ant-fan. 🙂
Tom Cruise, come out of the closet please. [grin]
Myrmecos, awesome! Wait, that means no more updates to your WordPress! 😦
Hi,

But this blog does continue its service?
