   ummm ... really?

   Is anybody really going to discover Grist this way?

   Chickens are our cousins! So are other sensitive animals! Enough is enough! No more factory farms!

   Topics

   Actually, I think people will more likely browse by the topics each story/post is tagged with.

   For example, Aimee Witteman's latest post is tagged with the following topics: agriculture, ag subsidies, Congress, politics.

   Dave, being the geek that he is, loves our new topic cloud, which can be refined by both type and number of results.

   Website comments vs. blog comments

   wiscidea, I assume you're referring to this comment, which is associated with a website article (a cartoon actually). Note that the recent comments box only lists comments made to Gristmill posts. We're in the process of creating a recent comments box for website content.

   Nice

   Tag clouds are "in" and quite useful.  I know plenty of people who will appreciate this.

   Thanks for sharing!

   I don't like

   The fewer buttons, the better, as far as I'm concerned. I'll just ignore them.

   every cloud has a dark interior

   I noticed that the following are missing from the topic cloud: war, military, conflict, international conflict, military/industrial complex, bloodshed, jihad, warfare, and similar topics.

   Is Grist intentionally excluding certain categories? Are they actually a tool of the military/industrial/fundamentalist complex?

   "War" is an environmental issue.

   What's up? How's a troll supposed to post his message in the appropriate location?

   Forward!
