Nate Soares’ blog seems excellent, of what I’ve read. I don’t read all of it. He posts approximately once or twice per week, and writes his blog posts in the form of sequences, like Eliezer or Luke have done in the past. He doesn’t seemed to have slowed in recent weeks in coming into his role as executive director of MIRI. I’m unsure if he’ll blog less frequently as he comes into his new role at MIRI in full. Anyway, if he intends to keep blogging every couple weeks, you/we could ask him to cross-post as many blog posts as he feels like to Less Wrong, as most content on his blog seems more than appropriate. He could act as a lightning rod or new hero to revitalize Less Wrong, at least for a time. I don’t know how lazy other users are. Maybe most of never read a post if it’s not directly in Main or Discussion. Maybe most of us never click on links on the lower sidebar(s), but would be more inspired to build upon or respond to articles posted directly on Less Wrong.

He’s already cross-posted several, but I don’t see this solution working long-term, or generalizing to many people, unless it is technically very easy.
