Nature Blog Networking: Deserted

As the bleak specter of winter hovers over most of the northern hemisphere, threatening to chill nature and nature lover alike right down to the bone, perhaps it’s nice to travel to place that’s always hot and dry, at least in my mind (which I fully appreciate isn’t always based in reality, but just go [...]

Nature Blog Networking: Of a spiritual nature

I hope all of you are watching the wonderful Ken Burns documentary on America’s National Parks this week. At the time of this writing I’ve only seen the first episode, but it encapsulated so well what I wanted to say in this place for this topic. “Spirit” is kind of a nebulous topic; intensely [...]

Where’s Waldo - and the Rest of the Network?

As Mike explained yesterday
Everyone has one month to recategorize and make sure you’ve installed the tracking code you each received when you were accepted to the NBN. On August 1, we will delete from the rolls any blog that still hasn’t installed the code. That’s the stick.
I get tell you about the carrot.
I’m really excited [...]

Flora to Plants?

Last week, I broached the topic of splitting the Nature Blog Network category of Ecosystem into smaller, more specific categories. That fruitful conversation is still going, so don’t hesitate to add your two cents. But before I commence recategorizing the NBN, I’d like to turn our collective attention to another category: Flora.
