Has the RSS Reader Been Replaced?

Web Worker Daily (we’re all web workers now, aren’t we?) ran a recent post asking Is Twitter Replacing the RSS Reader? This is a good question for a number of reasons, the first being that many members of the Nature Blog Network are presumably still getting their heads around subscriptions, syndication, and feed readers.  But [...]

Nature Blog Networking: New Zero-land

So, my big plans for a post on nature blogs from New Zealand met with the reality of there being no nature blogs from New Zealand in the NBN.  Perhaps, then, I should have thrown the invitation open to Old Zealanders, who must be fed up with the attention those upstarts in the southern hemisphere [...]

How Do You Use Flickr?

Flickr is undoubtedly the most popular, if not the best online photo management and sharing application in the world. Yet – and it embarrasses me to admit this – I don’t get it. Specifically, I don’t understand how a nature blogger benefits from posting pics to Flickr that could be posted straight to one’s own [...]

Nature Blog Networking: Land Ho!

I’ll be the first to admit that “land” is a pretty broad topic for a nature blog.  But why not?  Marine is a topic in it’s own right and with a topic so broad one could rightly covers issues concerning 3/4ths of the planet’s surface.  While terrestrial habitats offer a relatively small area of earth [...]

Featured Blog: The Natural Patriot

Emmett is a Professor of Marine Science at the College of William and Mary’s Virginia Institute of Marine Science. A marine ecologist by training, a lover of nature, and a committed environmentalist, he took on the name “Natural Patriot” because it better reflects what he (and many others) are about than the politically charged term [...]
