Where Did the Blogs Go?

Posted January 11, 2012 9:00 AM by SavvyExacta

It's a new year and we're not waiting for spring to do some cleaning on CR4. You may have noticed that there are fewer blogs on the Blog Roll. (There were 130 blogs in 2011.) The Admin team has been making some content and structural changes to CR4 during the month of January. Here's what's different:

1. Obsolete blogs were deleted. Most of the deleted blogs hadn't been updated in at least one year. No entries were deleted - they were all moved to other blogs. You can see a list of where things were moved at the end of this entry.

2. The Engineering Education and Engineering Careers sections merged to become a single section called Education & Engineering Careers.

3. Beginning in February the "newsletter blog" entries will no longer be published on CR4. Some of these blogs may also be consolidated in 2012. Entries will still be added but not with the same frequency.

	that's wrong this place is a rolicking chaotic mess, attempts to "fix" it, will be much more likely to break it every attempt to tame it has just resulted in new & unexpected developments CR$ is a glorious mess of infotainment may it always be so

	G'day Savvy I wish I had the time to start an inventors blog. I wish I had the guts to do it. I wish that it would be constructive and appreciated and be taken with a grain of whatever is needed to keep it all tight and above board. Maybe later in the year and after talking to a few inventors here. Yep, these bloody lazy Canadians. Sorry Chris, hope you don't read this. A bit of reverse physiology has never hurt nobody. The year of the dragon and lots of water in diesel engines, I wish. Maybe a blog? See what happens and if, all for free. Not much time left to chase the buck and start a revolution all on ones own. Just you wait and see, I've found my marbles. Wanna Play? Have one on me, Ky. __________________ The Twain Has Met

	Depending on just how many old members you don't see anymore, you might want to start a thread inviting them to "appear" again. At least long enough to explain why they don't appear much anymore.
