Bump in the Road

My plan to get an email address specifically for this blog has been delayed. For some reason Apple didn't register properly my request to delete one of my iCloud aliases. It happens. But, one more week and it should be ready. In the mean time I'm working on a blog post that is about something near and dear to my heart. Stay tuned.

Site Design

I really hate the endless list of links, books, and blogs that adorn most left or right blog columns. To spare everyone, including myself, of this phenomenon I'll create additional pages that list that sort of info. Yeah, it will be in a post that I'll update on occasion. Yeah, that isn't as clean as doing it another way. But, this is a free Wordpress account, my options are limited. If someone wants to pay for a SquareSpace account along with my own domain then I'll consider doing something different. Until then, I'm doing what I do with what I got.

How This Will Work

So, I've been wondering exactly how I'm going to organize this blog. I was speaking to one of the students here at St. Catherine of Siena Catholic Newman Center and it was suggested that I answer questions. I think that's a good idea. I'm setting up a public email address for this purpose. I hope this will be a good way to keep me honest. I'm telling you, I'm really bad at keeping up a blog. I'll need your help to make this successful. If I don't post something for a while somebody please say something on my Facebook page. It'll be very helpful. One thing I must remember is that for this venture to be successful I need to write about things that interest me. If I attempt to please everybody, I'm sure I'll please nobody. I'll answer questions; but, I'll need a lot of original content. It's going to take about a week to set up the email address. I had to delete one of my aliases from my iCloud account to create one specifically for this blog. I don't know why, but once you delete an alias it's seven days before you can create a new alias. I'm not complaining. iCloud is a lot better than MobileMe. (Warning: I'm a Mac dork. As a result you'll likely get some Apple stuff from time to time.) But, once the email address is ready I think it'll be a great opportunity for everybody. And no, I will not just take out a Gmail account. I'm in the process of divorcing Google. In the meantime, stay tuned, I'll make sure to not let the electronic wells run dry.

Those of you that are following this blog on Facebook let me know what you think. I'll be interested to read your thoughts.

Welcome

Welcome to my new blog. I see a blog as a place where people can express deeper thoughts than other forms of social media. Because of this I will not be accepting comments on my blog posts. However, I do want to create a space for conversation. To help with these conversations I have linked this blog to my Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn accounts. I hope to hear from you in those locations.
