I think the blog reference might go a little better in a section like current Ph.D. prep students or current doctoral students. There's enough stuff written on blogs that they are more of a networking/stay in touch tool that fits better deeper in the site rather than on the face of the Ph.D. program site. Your thoughts?
Well, previously you had a link to a page that was just on announcements for individual PhD prep people. My thought process was this: No one is ever going to get on the wiki and post an announcement about their life, but, they would put it on their blog, so, why not just have a link to their blog. Anyways.
I didn't think the announcement thing was going to work (and it wasn't my idea). Does anyone else have an opinion?
