It took three months, but Postgenomic now indexes and archives commentary on over a thousand papers (there's a caveat in that a few news items are still classed as papers). There are just over eight thousand blog posts in the database (and almost three thousand distinct tags - that's including blog categories and rel='tag's. So much for consolidation).

If you've submitted a blog in the past month or so, I apologise. Although Postgenomic is tiny by, say, Technorati standards it's getting quite difficult to maintain and update in its present form.

This is why it doesn't look like there's much happening to the site: when I've had time to implement any changes they've been to the backend. It's also why no new blogs have been added recently. I'll be updating the blog list in the next two or three weeks.

As part of that update there'll be a major change or two, like the introduction of fields outside of the life sciences. Physics will be first up, thanks to Jeff Hodge's excellent aggregator Mixed States (if you're even faintly interested in physics and haven't yet checked it out, you should).
