Hi Andy,

With the help of the very excellent Neil Monteiro, we've just moved our blog (about women in archaeology, palaeontology and geology) TrowelBlazers (trowelblazers.com) from tumblr to a wordpress-based blog. 'We' are a team of post-docs (me, Brenna Hassett, Suzanne Pilaar Birch and Rebecca Wragg Sykes) who are publishing on our own scientific research, but recently we've started to draft a couple of academic papers on Trowelblazers as a public engagement/digital archaeology project. We also crowd-source a lot (~50%) of our content, and a significant number of our guest posters are academics  who have published papers. 

I can see having ORCID identifiers for contributions could be rather useful for us and and our guest posters, and might encourage further contributions as well >>  would def be interested in trying out any plug-ins you have.

All the best,

Victoria

Te Papa's blog (http://blog.tepapa.govt.nz) is built in WordPress.org. 

There are a range of bloggers, including several academics who have authored papers. Science content varies from citizen science competitions (competition open until 31 Mayhttp://blog.tepapa.govt.nz/2014/04/30/find-ferns-and-win/) to more academic content.

Cheers, 
Ruth
