Triple Point » Info http://pontotriplo.org/triplepoint A selection of posts from Ponto Triplo - a Portuguese blog with links to the best chemistry sites, news and events Sun, 19 Apr 2009 23:15:30 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Finally!… http://pontotriplo.org/triplepoint/2007/04/finally.html http://pontotriplo.org/triplepoint/2007/04/finally.html#comments Thu, 26 Apr 2007 12:55:26 +0000 Jorge Goncalves http://pontotriplo.org/triplepoint/2007/04/finally.html ]]> The transfer is finally complete! I had more problems than I had expected, but this blog is now ready to function in WordPress. I have yet minor things to do like checking links but the primary task is complete. The site’s structure is almost the same. The main modification is that the best chemistry sites now have their own page named The List. In this list you can find the sites I consider to be the most valuable chemistry resources. All these sites were previously reviewed in Ponto Triplo (my Portuguese blog). You can find some of these reviews translated to English in this blog.
I hope to restart posting shortly. In the meantime, if you detect some errors please let me know. Thanks.

Triple Point will move from TypePad to WordPress in the next few days. Expect some turbulence. I will post again after setting everything up.

I have been making some minor changes, for example, on the lists of recommended blogs. However, no new posts. As I have explained to those who kindly wrote to me asking what was going on, this pause is temporary. There are many things happening in the world of Chemistry in the Internet and I plan to report it here very soon.

I’ve removed some Chemistry blogs that haven’t been updated for a long time and I’ve added to Other Blogs some new blogs. Another section that will start now is Links of the Month, in which I will highlight the most interesting sites from all that have been reviewed in Ponto Triplo/Triple Point.
Finally, as you can check on the left, I’ve created a new blog for mainly (but not only) Chemistry-related news, in a “quick links” format called… Quick Picks. I hope you enjoy it.

On the right column, I will have the most interesting sites divided into several sections (already presented on Ponto Triplo or on the Journal section Links Recomendados). On the left column, I will have some blogs which I follow and recommend, together with some tools for bloggers.
From time to time, I will translate and adapt some posts from Ponto Triplo. Probably I will start from the most recent to the older ones. Let us see how this goes. Of course, this blog is open to suggestions and comments. If you know a good chemistry site do not hesitate to send its URL to me. My email is up there.

For those who want to know what a triple point is (besides a chemistry blog…) some definitions are here. A schematic representation can be found here.

The idea behind this column, called Links Recomendados (Recommended Links), was to present, in each number, a selection of interesting chemistry sites. Then I decided to create a weblog as a complement to this Journal section.
When my collaboration with the Journal finished, I have decided to close the blog Links Recomendados and to start Ponto Triplo, a blog mainly devoted to chemistry-related sites but also with a look to Education and General Science sites.
