Blog in review: October-December 2003

Friday, April 25th, 2008

This period included the longest break in blogging I’ve ever taken: not from Hubby’s and my honeymoon but from the final meltdown in my last pastorate. Not good days, but there are a few posts worth recalling.

Hymn list I

Thursday, October 16th, 2003

In the extended entry I’ve placed my first list of useful hymns, culled from […]

Blog in review: July-September 2003

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

The blog matured, but I still didn’t post much. And software failings left some posts lost forever, including earlier installments of my Universalist quotation series. (See Transient and Permanent for a new series of Universalist quotations.)

Eternal Ruler of the Ceaseless Round

Monday, July 21st, 2003

There’s a hymn — sadly missing in the 1993 Singing the Living […]

Blog in review: May and June 2003

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

These are some of my earliest posts, when I only wrote once or twice a week and editing the HTML by hand! Yet there are some enduring bits and pieces . . . .

What to profess?

Monday, May 26th, 2003

I never thought so many people would take an interest in this humble blog. Thank you.

Some […]

The Day Job

Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008

Let me tell you about where I work, and why it matters to you, my dear readers.

the goal of using the revolutionary power of the Internet and new information technology to enable citizens to learn more about what Congress and […]

Five years in review

Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008

I mark my fifth blogging anniversary on May 22. Between now and then, I will be going quarter by quarter a pointing out the best resources and (if I may be immodest) the best writing.

Boy in the Bands upgrading; do you have requests?

Wednesday, April 16th, 2008

As the title says, I’m upgrading the style and usability of this blog. All the improvements will be on another semi-secret blog and will be rolled out in stages.

I’m of the school that the blog should do what it needs to do with as little glitz as possible, yet anticipating features (like microformats) that make […]

WordPress bloggers: categories or tags

Monday, April 14th, 2008

A little word to my fellow bloggers: if you have a new version of WordPress, you’ll see how you have a choice between categories and tags. What’s the difference?

In short, you plan categories; tags are ad hoc. I would think you would have more tags than categories.

Unitarian Universalist Association would be (here) a category; when […]

Now WordPress 2.5, playing with widgets

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

I’ve upgraded the software behind this blog to WordPress 2.5 and (like everyone else I’ve read who has an opinion) I love it.

Now I just need to figure out how to automate the sections in the sidebar, making them into widgets. Those are modular tools that I can add or remove from a control […]

Oh dear, I’m now Twittering

Thursday, March 20th, 2008

If you Twitter, look me up. (For those who don’t, think of it as ultra-short-format blogging.)
