A blogrlab original: scientific blogging
by blogrdoc
I recently made a very subtle, but fundamental change to this blog. You probably didn’t notice it. If you look at the categories, I’ve renamed them such that each post falls into the category as would the material for a scientific paper. I know, your thinking “Is this guy trying to put us to sleep?”
I thought it would be interesting to do. Moreover, it’s the form in which I am most comfortable writing.
There are a couple more categories for which I have no posts yet: Conclusions, and Acknowledgements. At the close of this blog (yes, I am preparing now for the end of this blog), I shall make Conclusions based on the results on the various experiments I have done. This technique hopefully will allow me to monitor my content (e.g. too many observations, not enough results, vice versa etc…)
I call this invention: scientific blogging, and this blog is the first of its kind, to the knowledge of the author*.
We’ll see how this goes!
*Read: author was too lazy to do the research.

Blogrdoc,
Your new category names are a refreshing change from the how-to, productivity, health, habits, etc, that have become the defacto standard for similar type blogs.
Of the many blogs I have subscribed and unsubscribed to, I have yet to come across one that uses the term scientific blogging. I’m looking forward to your posts on new “experiments”.
Sam

The irony is that I suspect that this is the way that WP structure *should* be used. I did a google on ‘category vs tags’ and it looks like there is some confusion about the difference. I will go back and *tag* all the posts with the various familiar buzzwords you mention.
