Do science blog networks shun newcomers?

Khalil A. Cassimally thinks they do, and says as much in this post on the Scitable site. "The number of quality science bloggers on the web is ever-increasing. And yet, the sizes of reputable science blogging networks are not," Cassimally writes. In the comments, big names such as Carl Zimmer, Ed Yong, David Dobbs and Martin Robbins tell him he's wrong. "The people doing well now generally didn't wait for an opportunity, they created one," Robbins responds.
