I’ll Make Ya Famous!

March 12, 2009 on 11:17 am | In Blog info, Random Stuff |

Well, it was bound to happen. We’ve been around for just about 14 months now, and as of right now, we have 306 posts (including this one), 1,735 comments, and 271,834 pageviews. Not bad for something that started, legitimately, because I was simply interesting in telling you about these things — astronomy, astrophysics, cosmology, and the Universe — that I found too fascinating to keep to myself.

Things like planets and stars:

Like galaxies and clusters of galaxies:

and like dark matter, dark energy, and the effects of gravity.

Well, I’ve really enjoyed doing it so far, and I really hope you’ve enjoyed reading it! Because I have news for you. Ever hear of ScienceBlogs?

One of my favorite science blogs, The Intersection, lives there, as do many others, such as one about (mostly) quantum physics, one about science, society and politics, and a uniquely irate biologist. Well, guess who’s been invited to move over there?

That’s right, kids; someday soon, Starts With A Bang will be joining forces with Scienceblogs to help bring you all the stories you’re used to seeing here. But I need some help — I need a banner! I can make one myself, but I’m not nearly as artistic as many of you are. So, let’s have a banner-designing contest, and the winner will get their banner for the new Starts With A Bang displayed all over our new site! The only restrictions are that it must display the words “Starts With A Bang” somewhere, and it must be 756 x 95 pixels. The best I can do on my own is something like this:

But this is your chance to help out; send suggestions and submissions to me (address is on the Q & A Page), and I’ll let you know when the big switchover takes place!

  3. Holli’s a pro at this kind of thing and even has her own graphic design business (on paper, at least). I’ll see if she has any ideas, but the timing might be off since we’re about to leave for vacation.

  4. Congrats, you deserve it - does this mean SWAB will be archived?

  5. Resistance is indeed futile. They are the ScienceBorg.

    Congrats. You’ll be an asset to them.

  6. I’m not 100% sure how it’s going to work — either I’ll keep the archives here and use this for an occasional post/update, or I’ll transfer the archives over there and just keep this for posterity.

    I’ll have to figure out, over the next couple of days/weeks, what I want to do with it. And of course I’ll let everyone know!

  7. congrats………i really enjoy reading these sometimes off the wall and way over my head subjects, but i still try to keep up and keep informed. i was not aware of “science blogs” but i’m certainly going to check it out now.

  8. Congrats, Ethan, way to go! I’m glad you are getting more recognition for all the effort you put into this. With all this new exposure who knows where SWAB will end up next?!

  9. You’ll be one of the best blogs over there. Congrats!

  10. Can the banner be animated?

    Comment by Richard — March 17, 2009 #

  11. Rich,

    If you’re going to make one, it can be whatever you like! So long as it’s a .gif/.jpg, I’m sure it will be okay.

  12. Congratulations Ethan! This is awesome news, sorry it’s been a while to congratulate you, been bogged down in “another project” that I’ll be revealing soon, only just catching up with my missed posts. So is there any further news on your global domination plan?
