Anyone who has access to the Authors Forum (aka you) also has access to Author Admin. That means you can directly add blog posts to Skeptical Science. Basically, how this works is there are two types of authors: Pending Authors and Full Authors. A Pending Author can add a blog post but can't go live with it - you need to drop me an email and ask for me to publish the blog post.

- the Blog subfolder should show up on the bar on the left-hand side of each page. - the status of the reader's viewership for the sub-folders on the Authors page should be indicated with the color-refresh feature: It should be possible for me to go to just the Authors page and see if there are any postings that I haven't already read, without having to open up to that sub-folder's list in full. | |

Hi Folks, Neal was helping me with my blog a couple of days ago and what was seen as two side by side images on my computer was seen as two images, one on top of the other on his. Today I worked on my blog at home and it appeared fine. I came to work and things looked different on my computer at work. Does anybody know what's going on? Thanks, Bob Guercio | |

Just came back home and my blog shows up slightly differently depending upon which browser I use. Firefox or Microsoft? Bob | |

Hi Bob, hazarding a guess, I'd say that the resolution is different on your two computers, or you have the page-display set to different zoom-factors. The WYSIWYG-HTML-editor and the browsers take these (and most likely other settings!) into account and if the two pictures need more space than is available they will be displayed one on top of the other instead of next to each other. What I do, if I want to ensure that two pictures always get displayed side-by-side, is that I create a combined picture - either with a dedicated software or with eg. MS-Powerpoint and a screen-capture program. That way, I can better "control" how the result looks like (regardless of eg. a user's setting). Hope this helps! Cheers Update: Just saw your comment about the browsers - that's another possibility, as Firefox and IE (and Chrome and others) don't always interpret the HTML-formatting exactly the same way. This can affect things like font-size and font-colors to name just two. | |

Baerbel, Thanks for the response. I'll see how my blogs show up on John Cook's computer. That's the one to worry about:):) Bob | |

I'm still unclear how this works. I assumed before publishing, a blog would be reviewed for comment by others, is this what happens if you press 'save and continue editing'? I may have published an article directly here, although hopefully it is OK. Sorry if I have jumped the gun here.
