If you are confused by the sheer number of ScienceBloggers and need to know who is who and what everyone writes about, you should check the periodic table of SciBlings. Then, check out more detailed descriptions of some of the blogs and keep checking in the following days for the descriptions of others. A graphic, looking just like a real periodic table may be in the making soon...

I think the Seed overlords should look at some other anthro stars like Archaeoastronomy, Northstate Science, and Abnormal Interests. These guys do a bang up job.
