Weight hedgehog? Or fox?

Posted in Administrivia, Obesity, Public health on October 1, 2011 | 2 Comments »

Those of you who’ve never checked out my About page have probably missed the story of why I chose the name Weight Maven for this blog. Well, one reason is that Yoni Freedhoff already had the name Weighty Matters taken ;. So I chose Weight Maven after remembering a quote from Malcolm Gladwell’s The Tipping [...]

Well, it seems that more and more of my favorite reads are participating on Facebook (like the Healthy Skeptic and the Nutrition Diva), some of whom are using the latter for comments about their blog posts. So I’ve gone ahead and created a Facebook page for Weight Maven, mostly so that I can participate as [...]

New extended blogroll!

Posted in Administrivia on March 17, 2011 | 1 Comment »

Woo hoo … I’ve finally found a tool that converts my Google Reader feed subscriptions into an HTML list! Why would I want this? Because I read many, many great blogs that haven’t made it onto the blogroll on the right nav. For one, it’s a bit of a hassle to enter them via WordPress, [...]

Added a blogroll

Posted in Administrivia on March 17, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

Well, in the spirit of better late than never, Steve Parker’s recent post about updating his blogroll got me thinking I needed to launch a new blogroll to go with the new blog (former blogroll was pretty much all politics and user experience design).

One of the perils of blogging is having to deal with blog spam from people wanting to increase their page rank with search engines. Most of it is automated; a lot of it comes from non-English speakers. Every once in a while though, you get a real pearl, like: When I found this I had [...]

IDblog is now Weight Maven

Posted in Administrivia on January 8, 2010 | 2 Comments »

Back in late November, I brought IDblog back from Google Siberia (read: blacklist) and announced that my focus going forward was going to change.

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes!

Posted in Administrivia on November 30, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Alrighty then! My little snafu with Google has now been addressed, my blog is back to serving itself up at idblog.org again, and one holiday is out of the way. Time to get back to blogging. Big yay! (Note: side benefit of porting to wordpress.com is that post URLs are actually preserved, so I don’t [...]
