Are your pageviews significantly higher? (Maybe everyone lurks; there's definitely an effort barrier to commenting.)<br /><br />I ask because I'm about to start a blog of my own, but I'm afraid I won't have the fortitude to publish posts without getting some sort of reception.

Graphs can serve that purpose too, and sometimes better. In fact, a paper I am writing now contains a graph of our results plotted against many others from the literature. It's too bad that there isn't more open data; I think researchers devising theories to explain data would do better if they had access to everyone's data and not just their own.Ted Sandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15001183656827732917noreply@blogger.com
