I thought I’d pin a quick update on the status of the blog here near the top of the page, for the sake of any new readers who might happen to wander by in the coming days.

Update: My recent post that got a link from The Corner—thanks Jonah!—is two posts down from here.

First of all, I’ll mention my favorite post to have scrolled off the main page to date: the “Prayer of St. Blog”. Some folks are of the opinion that it might just catch on.

I am continuing to tinker with some of the features, and the sidebar, and assorted details of presentation. (Readers who have helpful suggestions, or complaints about aspects of the blog that make them crazy, are welcome to e-mail me anytime.) But I remain very happy with the blog design overall, and I once again thank the folks at E.Webscapes for their fine work and considerable patience.

The “About” and “Rule” subpages are still under construction. The introduction and first Chapter of the “Rule” are finished, but work continues on the rest as time allows. When more of the subpage content is fit to receive company, I will be sure to mention it here on the main page.

The “Archives” subpage is set up, and should work just fine so long as the tasty AJAX goodness doesn’t cause a browser freak-out on your end.

As my perfectionism is satisfied or gets tired—or some combination of the two—actual posting should become a little more frequent. But I do not intend to, and am quite incapable of, becoming some sort of Insta-freak. (Note to Prof. Reynolds: I mean “freak” in a good way. Honest.) In an ideal world, I would be posting daily, with at least half of those being of the longish think-piece type. We shall see if that indeed comes to pass.

For readers who find themselves disappointed whenever they check a favorite website and find nothing new, may I suggest checking out the “Subscribe” box at left. Either the RSS or e-mail feed should keep you apprised of all new posts here, as soon as they go up. I’ve only just recently started using an RSS reader myself (I settled on the one built into Mozilla Thunderbird); I find it helps me reach a state of information overload so much more efficiently than before. Highly recommended.
