Well, the styling is getting close to being done now. Thanks for all your patience and feedback. And, please, if you see anything wonky, use the comments section or the new Contact form to let me know.
Some things you might want to check out:
- Comments now use gravatars. You can find out more and sign up for your own free gravatar at gravatar.com. (And for those of you who haven’t met me, yes, the gravatar in the comments section next to my comments is supposed to be Southpark Chutney.) Also, my own comments will now show up in a different color to make them easier to find.
- Try out the new search function. It produces a drop down list of results as you type (might be a slight delay after typing).
- We have photos! I’m not Mr. Photographer or anything, but I’ve put up photos from my Flickr account. (Nifty WordPress plugin, huh?)
- Archives are now snazzy. Try out the new set up. (I’m not quite satisfied with the colors yet, but it’s well on its way.)
- You might have noticed a little section on the sidebar called “Asides.” These are short little linky-link posts that don’t really warrant a full entry. Similar to Philocrites’ Scrapbook.

Holocaust Memorial Day is Jan 27/29 in the UK. Why doesn’t the US have one of these? Or do we?
I’ve had three web hosts now. And my new host, BlueHost, is the first to offer a support discussion board. I’m impressed.
Every web server has its own quirks, and there’s a gray area between what the server is responsible for fixing and what you are. Nice to know I can get help from other folks in the same position.
Shout out to Duane for pointing me their way in the first place.
Back in 1999, when grunge was still a fresh memory, I remember reading a newsweekly’s predictions for the coming millennium. One author wrote of the coming of [tag]Chrislam[/tag], a merger of [tag]Christian[/tag] and [tag]Islamic[/tag] [tag]fundamentalism[/tag]. I scoffed at his ignorance of religion—typical journalist.
Then Rebecca Blood lets us know that Chrislam is, in fact, real—and growing, whether fundamentalist or not.
Of course, saying that [tag]African religion[/tag] is eclectic would be a radical understatement, and I always admire it for its eagerness to mutate and adapt. Yet the eclecticism of Chrislam stuns me, in spite of my course with Dana Roberts (who is interviewed in the CS piece).
Still, I can’t knock the message. Says founder Samusadeen Saka, “The same sun that dries the clothes of Muslims also dries the clothes of Christians.” I couldn’t agree more.

Cross your fingers, knock on wood, throw some salt over your shoulder. Let’s hope this thing works.
Please adjust your bookmarks ands feed accordingly, god willing and the creek don’t rise.
