ScienceBlogs loses three, gains two

There has been a lot of moving and shaking going on at ScienceBlogs lately. Not only have we welcomed two new library science bloggers (Christina's LIS Rant and Confessions of a Science Librarian, welcome), but three of my favorite bloggers have left the Sb community. John Lynch (Stranger Fruit, now a simple prop), John Wilkins (Evolving Thoughts), and Afarensis have headed off to new corners of the blogohedron. They will be sorely missed here, but update your links and bookmarks so you can continue to read their excellent work.

I'll restore the other 23, maybe, at least to one…

I've got to admit, as more of the blogs here blog less about science and more against issues they don't like (in particular religion) with an increased vitriol ... I look elsewhere.
