Changes afoot

Our regular readers have probably noticed a general slowdown in the arrival of new content around here. The first week of the Iranian election masked this trend a bit, but it will likely continue. The reason? Fewer active bloggers.

Some, such as Charli and PTJ, are taking short leaves of absence. In contrast, Peter and I will soon be taking much more lengthy breaks--both of us are due to start fellowships with responsibilities that either preclude, or severely limit, blogging activity.

After some lengthy internal discussions, we've decided to bring on a stable of guest bloggers, many of whom may be around for quite some time. We'll be making a comprehensive announcement once we finalize the list, but we're very pleased with the quality of the new people who have already agreed to blog at the Duck.
