专题介绍
Welcome to the Britannica Blog. As we say on our home page, the site is a place for smart, lively conversations about a broad range of topics. Our aim is to have discussions that are both stimulating and civil. We want to keep the rules simple and few, but we do need some rules, so here they are. They apply to bloggers and commentators alike.
- No bigotry
- No profanity
- No advocating violence or flagrantly immoral conduct
- No pornography or links thereto
- No personal attacks. Intellectual argument is fine, but please, nothing ad hominem.
- Nothing that would offend most reasonable people
- No purely or primarily commercial messages
- No spam. As a definition of spam, we like that of blogher.org: “nonsense unrelated to the discussion,” though we reserve the right, on occasion, to delete even relevant nonsense or irrelevant sense.

In 1966, no band was bigger than The Beatles, and no band was more influential—with the result, in 1966 and for a few years after, that no band was more imitated. Some of the would-bes were ghastly and forgotten. Some wore their Beatles hearts on their sleeves while crafting new sounds, as did the mighty Alex Chilton by way of Big Star and the smashingly fantastic San Francisco band The Flamin’ Gr...

Muffins are one of my favorite things to have on hand for quick, on-the-go breakfasts. They are perfect to make in bulk and have on hand in the freezer. These Morning Glory Muffins use a lot of ingredients, but they are so filling and hearty that you will not need to eat as many to be satisfied. As such, I definitely still consider them part of my frugal kitchen. Plus, this recipe makes about 3 do...
