For my week off we had more stories out than usual. I've been using my time off to experiment with sharing to Mastodon and Tumblr. Every time I needed to test something I'd use a press release with some fairly minimal editing to see how servers were talking to each other. Tumblr is going badly, but you can see Mastodon at work at @botanyone@botany.social. We'll still be sticking with Twitter for now, but I can understand why many scientists are leaving. There's a noticeable reduction in the science people are sharing, but maybe it will pick up in the New Year.The other holiday project, the coding for the redesign, has gone well but I need to prettify it. The goal will be to get that done for Wednesday, and then see how everyone reacts to it as a draft. I don't know if or when it will go live.The only thing I can say for certain is that I'll be aiming to get another email with you at the same time next week. Until then, take care.Alun (webmaster@botany.one)
