The blog has moved to thesffblog.com, although it's still in a transition state. Comments/feedback/bug reports would be appreciated.

@JackBNimble I'm working on the last couple of episodes of Doctor Who Series 9 for Part 2 of my review. Hoping to get it finished before the end of this week.

I haven't been directly involved with the rebloggification efforts; but I just came here to say that you guys look like you're doing a great amount of work, and thank you.

What could be cool is a quasi interview type thing if the members couldn't be on all at once. We all agree on questions to answer then we all submit our answers and the blog post would basically just ask the question, then list all of our opnions. I see this done on sevral gaming blogs.

google claims blogger is not on the way out and that they're actively working on things.

The problem with any one person hosting the blog is if they leave the site or forget to renew or something, it could just disappear one day and be a big hassle to switch again.

Yeah, I suppose I'm assuming there'll be enough interest to maintain the blog :-( I really hope there is. I've enjoyed contributing to it and reading others' contributions.

Stack Exchange Science Fiction & Fantasy Blog: Doctor Who Series 9 Review – Part 1 of 2
rand al'thor on April 04, 2016

After watching a few random episodes of Doctor Who over the previous several years (I saw the 2006 Christmas special live on TV, and then a selection of episodes from Series 4 and 5 around Christmas 2011), I started to get seriously into the franchise around Christmas 2014, and now consider myself a fully fledged Whovian, having watched over two-thirds of all New Who episodes in not much more than a year.

Video game design and making movies are basically the same, so I’m sure in hindsight this will be viewed as the good decision it obviously is. You don’t want to bog down a film production with a director who has experience or a proven track record. …

A blog post saying you didn't like it would be good, but not so much if you didn't finish the book

Now, on the technical side, is there any Trello/WP integration? Can we automatically and systematically have a link to the WP draft in each Trello card, and synchronize post status changes in WP with card column changes in Trello?
