Midas Oracle is a popular group blog about prediction markets (a.k.a. event derivative markets) and:

What Advice Would You Give To A Newbie Discovering This Blog?
Read our blog(s) using a feed reader —we highly recommend Google Reader. You should be able to scan-read quickly the items within your feed reader —classify them, tag them, share them, and search them. This present blog (Midas Oracle .ORG) might be overwhelming for the newbies. Please, consider reading the best posts, only —there is a “best posts” feed, too. Alternatively, you could pick up one category or one tag. If you want to get a list of highly selected resources and readings on prediction markets (as opposed to reading the full blog), then head for the BEST or PREDICTIONS pages, and, there, cherry-pick exactly what you need. If you care only about the prediction markets by themselves (and not about the industry), then you may want to consider our twin blog, Midas Oracle .COM —instead of this present blog (Midas Oracle .ORG). Reading the two blogs is not such a great idea —choose one and stick with it.

How should blog readers set up their PC?
Set the screen resolution of your PC at 1600 x 1200 pixels or more. You will probably have to augment the size of the font(s) used by your browser and your other software.
That way, you will have more things on your screen:
You will be able to see the huge prediction market charts in full. (If you read blogs inside feed readers, Google Reader will give you ample space to display the huge charts.) You will be able to see in full our extended horizontal menu bar, present on top of every Midas Oracle webpage.
-
Which Web Browser Should Blog Readers Use?
We recommend open-source software (e.g., Mozilla FireFox, Opera, Google Chrome, etc.). Please, dump MicroSoft’s Internet Explorer where it belongs: in the trash can.
