The AMS Graduate Student Blog, by and for graduate students, has just been initiated at: http://mathgradblog.williams.edu/
It is already going strong, with posts about Advisers, Seminars, Teaching Assistants, Giving Talks, Organizing Reading Seminars, and Careers.
I urge graduate students and those with advise for graduate students to read, post, and comment.

| "The AMS Graduate Student Blog is a new blog by and for math graduate students, managed by Frank Morgan, Vice-President, American Mathematical Society, and Professor of Mathematics at Williams College.
"Graduate students are the future of the AMS, and they have a lot to talk about," says Morgan.
The Graduate Student Editorial Board members are Asher Auel, Adam Boocher, Diana Davis, Daniel Erman, Fernando Galaz, Brian Katz, Alex Levin, Kathryn Lindsey, Andrew Obus, David Shea Vela-Vick, Clay Shonkwiler, Annalies Z. Vuong, and Tom Wright, and Morgan hopes that more grad students from around the country will be interested in joining the board. The blog entries to date concern organizing a reading seminar, how to give a good mathematics talk, advice for beginning teaching assistants, navigating seminars and finding an advisor--topics of great importance to graduate students, who are all are invited to join the community by posting comments, questions and advice on the blog.
The American Mathematical Society encourages all graduate students in the mathematical sciences to visit and use the AMS Graduate Student Blog, hosted by Williams College. [Item posted 3/17/09]"
