How will the blog be accessed when it is launched?

Question

Given that the blog is finally getting underway. I was wondering; how will we access it when it launches? Will it be up with the chat/faq bar or will it be somewhere else? How will people know that we have one? Side link? Banner ad?

Answer 1

The blog link in the footer will change from:

http://blog.stackexchange.com/?blb=1

to:

http://programmers.blogoverflow.com/?blb=1

Then when there's a new post the chat link in the header will be replaced by the blog link for 24 hours.

Contributors will have to bookmark the link for accessing the blog dashboard themselves.
