Totally Mechanistic Blog
« on: December 13, 2006, 02:49:37 AM »
So for those not paying attention to the latest Chemistry bloggers' favorite intoxicant or rant-session. A new blog has popped up with a lot of potential, TotallyMechanistic. 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



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.

Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex

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 ;-)
I'm not suffering from a mental disease - I'm enjoying it.
