Getting more focused
Inspired by some others, I decieded to revamp my “About” page last night. It was pretty generic and didn’t really give much insight into my rationale for blogging (partly, because I’m still figuring that out.) And that got me to thinking about the direction and purpose of this blog.
When I started this thing a year and a half ago it was just an experiment, an outlet for my thoughts, and a repository for, well…whatever. It will still function in that manner. I enjoy my work and I enjoy seminary, but I have to have some sort of creative outlet.
So my blog will continue to be that outlet, but hopefully it will be a bit more focused. Check out the about page to see what I’m talking about and let me know what you think (the comment for pages are closed so you can comment here).
We’ll see how this works out. See if I can do the whole “focused” thing. (Says to self, “I think I can. I think I can. I think I can.”)

That's a great about section, I may have to steal the Enneagram idea from you. I just took the test , though, and was sort of annoyed by the results– so we'll see.

it's all good. i think my permalinks may have been messed up anyway. wordpress got a little confused with two pages having the same title. fixed now though!

when it comes to blogging i'm usually inspired to write by material i read from books and other blogs. you can check out what i'm reading and a selected blogroll in the sidebar. you can see all the blogs i read here.

Blake, so do you like the IntenseDebate? I was thinking of adding it. Mainly for the email reply feature. Let me know what you think.

i really like the platform. several things. aesthetically, i really like the threaded look. it's easier on the eyes and makes navigation inside a conversation a lot easier. then there are the updates. both email and rss on the fly. they also have several different options for widget integration. i have a couple in the sidebar right now. and finally, it integrates really well with friend feed, which i'm using more and more to aggregate all my activity on the web.
so, yeah. i'm really liking it so far.
