Scientific Blogging! is a Science 2.0 community and big believers in open science. As a result they encourage people to jump right in and start writing. The reason they are an open science community because they believe that science is important and the better educated people are, the greater their impact on policy. By using their science gets directly into the hands of people. They don't tell anyone what to write, they don't hand pick the writers because they agree with any ideology ther have, they don't demand that you already be popular before you can write on the blog. If you have science knowledge, they want you to share it When you sign up, you have one of two options - columnist and registered member. Registered members can vote up articles they like, leave comments, write their own blogs and use the chat functions. Columnists do all that and can write feature articles that appear on the front page. They also have featured authors but you can't become one of those until you have been around for a while.
