Title: Totally Mechanistic Blog
Post by: Mitch on December 13, 2006, 02:49:37 AM
So for those not paying attention to the latest Chemistry bloggers' favorite intoxicant (http://thedisgruntled.blogspot.com/2006/12/beer-blogging-white-hawk-ipa.html) or rant-session (http://www.thechemblog.com/?p=336). A new blog has popped up with a lot of potential, TotallyMechanistic (http://totallymechanistic.wordpress.com/). The blog says it will be focusing mainly on mechanisms, which is great because I love mechanisms and I'm personally one of those Name Reactions freaks. I even keep a small collection of name reactions on site and in this page: Name Reactions (http://www.chemicalforums.com/index.php?page=name)

(https://www.chemicalforums.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fblog.chemicalforums.com%2Fblog-tm.png&hash=874c1b03fe56559ade91be531519b8485197e323) (http://totallymechanistic.wordpress.com/)

I'm a believer in giving new blogs some publicity, so click the image and read/meet the newest member of the chemical blogging community. The only bad thing about the blog is that it's anonymous. Anonymous for now at least! ;)

Note 1: I've added a SNAP feature to the website. What SNAP does, is when you hover over a url it'll show you a preview of the other website. If you like it or hate it let me know.

Note 2: I've also added a block showing the most recent phdcomics. You can see the block only on http://blog.chemicalforums.com, it'll be to the right of the screen under the chat window. I know my blog is looking more like a dumpy myspace site, but oh-well.

Re: SNAP.  Absolutely hate it.  Impedes my view of the page and pops up too much when I just hover my mouse around the page randomly.  Good thought, but I'm not a fan.

Re: New blog.  Fabolous.  I also love name reactions and mechanisms...especially when they're hand-picked to be the most interesting :D

Re: Phdcomics.  Meh.  Mixed feelings here.  Could take it or leave it.

I hated SNAP too when I first saw it, might want to give it a little bit more time to get use to it.

OOH!  That means I have yet another to add to the ever-growing linkies section.
Yay for PhD comics!

Agree, the comics are fine, but Snap is yuck. Your readers with the slower connections and computers will hate you for Snap ;-)
