In the interests of improving the archivability, searchability, and general user-friendliness of this blog, I’ve changed some of the “Categories” and added several more to the list. (If you’ve been a subscriber to any of them, you may need to resubscribe under the changed label.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quick explanation: “Categories,” which are listed at the top of the sidebar on your right, classify blog posts into topics. These can be read in isolation from others, more easily searched, and subscribed to individually. So, for instance, if you are most interested in reading what’s been published here on the topics of climate change, media, and debates over the Anthropocene, but couldn’t care less about philosophy, politics, music, or film and cinema, you could subscribe to the “Anthropocene,” “Climate politics,” and “Media ecology” categories. To subscribe to individual categories, go to “Subscribe2” in the right-hand sidebar. Or you could of course just visit periodically, click on the categories you’re interested in, and scroll through what you’ve been missing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The subscribe box above <\/em>that one (in the sidebar) gives you the option of subscribing to everything, so that all new posts go directly into your e-mail In-box. Alternatively, you can subscribe through an external feed reader<\/a>, like Feedly<\/a> (my favorite), The Old Reader<\/a>, NewsBlur<\/a>, or Good News<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are several other ways to find things archived on this blog. The Primer<\/a> and Faves<\/a> pages, which I’ve also brushed up a bit, are only updated periodically, but are useful for getting a sense of what can be found here. They are tabbed at the top of every page. The Categories, by contrast, update automatically with each new post. Then there are “tags,” which can be found at the bottom of each post (the most popular ones are listed here<\/a>). Tags can only be found from other tags (or from searches); they are a lateral sort of tagging instrument. Categories are “mega-tags” that create big bins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve also added a couple more things in the right-hand sidebar: namely, a list of image-linked “Top posts and pages” and a list of “Popular resources” (where I have put things like my “Lyme & beyond” bibliographic resource, book review lists, and similar things).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hope these tweaks are helpful. Let me know if you have any other suggestions for improving the usefulness of this online space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, a quiz question: which category will this<\/em> post get archived into? That’s right: “Blog stuff.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
