Dear folks -
I am thinking of jumping on the blog bandwagon and put together a Hypography blog. The blog will be an important feature at Hypography - it will be the main feature on the front page, and it will be updated daily. The content will partly consist of comments about ongoing events, news and headlines, and partly links to new stuff at Hypography which will be published by the same bloggers.
All this means that I want this to be done in a semi-professional manner.
I need at least 5-10 volunteers who would like to help me get this idea going. I want to set up a discussion group for beta-bloggers, and start a trial blogging period so we can test the idea and see how well it goes. At the same time, a new design will be implemented and tried out for the entire website, so this will be an important step forward for Hypography.
If you would like to help Noah and myself make this happen, please send an e-mail to me at
editor@hypography.com and tell me what you think you can contribute with. If you have a website or a blog already, let me know. I will get in touch with each of you and set things up.
Taking part in this will make you visible to a lot of people. Hypography has a regular user base of thousands of people. We have about 200,000 visitors per month, and some 1,000,000 page impressions. So the blog must be good for us to succeed with it!
Please contact me about this ONLY if you think you will be able to contribute on a regular basis, which means AT LEAST 1-2 times a week, plus taking part in the online discussion in our forums. You must also be able to write legibly in ENGLISH and you should have a general interest in both popular science, science writing and the main topics at Hypography (astronomy, cosmology, earth science, space exploration, philosophy...well...anything, as long as it is _science_).
If you have thoughts, suggestions or anything else you want to say about this, feel free to post it by replying to this message.
