About MuseumBlogs.org
MuseumBlogs.org is a directory of museum and museum-related blogs as well as a space for re-postings and roundups. The purpose of the site is to raise awareness and increase the authority of blogs focusing on museum issues. Authority is used by search engines to filter results. The more links, the more authority and more visible a blog will become.
The Directory
A publicly editable, moderated directory provides a central website for listings to museum and museum-related blogs.
The Blog
We encourage re-posting from qualified blogs and bloggers. The aim of MuseumBlogs.org is to drive visitors to other museum blogs and increase their authority. If you're interested in re-posting or creating roundups which focus on the museum blog world, please feel free to contact us for password and log in information.
Who and Why?
This site was developed by Ideum. We're a small design company that develops interactive exhibits and websites for museums. The idea for MuseumBlogs.org came about after we developed a survey of museum blogs & community sites in March of 2006. One of the major outcomes was that the vast majority of museum blogs lack authority which was covered in a follow up post on the Ideum blog. It's our hope that MuseumBlogs.org will help increase communities’ awareness and authority.
Policies
MuseumBlogs.org is run as a public service and encourages community participation. The site does not accept commercial advertising of any kind.

]]>Since it’s the first slime mold to appear on BPotD, I was really hoping to have a superior photograph, but a passable one will have to do. I’m fairly certain this is Fuligo septica, one of the few of these fascinating organisms to have a well-used common name – dog vomit

Today I added a new widget from the Rijksmuseum that

This was an extremely fun night. As Nicola explained in the post below, a group of us acted as jockeys, rolling die to determine which horse moved and how far.
The jockeys all dressed up in what they deemed acceptable jockey outfits, mine was a fairly standard set of…
