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.
One suggestion has been [...]

Economic Models for Sustainable Blogging

Those of you who read our earlier post, Interview with Julie Zickefoose, and followed the comments thread know that we’re having a lively discussion about the economics of blogging. Can nature blogging can be self-sustaining or is it destined to remain a hobby? Is the best model for support advertising, subscription, or sponsorship? or something [...]

The people have spoken

By roughly a three-to-one margin, the blogosphere wants to hear about your personal life.
There are a few limitations to this study
Yes, I know 22 votes is not a representative sample of a community with >540 members. I know opportunistic recruitment is not reliable in the same way that a random sample is. I [...]

We’ve started sharing news and information, highlighting members, and posting tips for successful nature blogging. [...]
