Welcome!

to my new blog home.  Feel free to roam around a bit and check things out, or take the guided tour of the features of note.

• I’ll be  linking to posts I find interesting in the little sidebar box called A Few Good Reads.  I’m really good at saving links, intending to do a post with a collection of links, but never getting around to it.  With this little box, I can put that special link up right away so I don’t forget.   
  
• Of special interest in the A Few Good Reads box right now: The link to Testimony Tuesday (For Bloggers) at Challies.com.  If you’re a blogger and you have a testimony, here’s your opportunity to share it by posting your testimony in your blog next Tuesday and sending Tim the link. 
  
• If you were quoted  saying nice things about my blog in the sidebar of the old blog, you’ll be quoted here, too, eventually.  I’ve set up a rotating system with only four or five quotes appearing at one time in the sidebar.  The decluttering bug that’s taken over my home life has taken over my blog life as well.
  
• The new RSS feed is here. (There’s a link in the sidebar, too.) You’ll be changing your subscription pronto, right? And if you’d change your blogroll link, that’d make me even happier.
  
• The archives to this blog are here.  I imported some of the posts from the old blog, but the process took a long time and that’s as many posts as I had the patience to do.  I won’t be taking the old blog down, so all the rest of the older posts can still be found there.
• More decluttering:  There are no long blogrolls in the sidebar.  However, if you click on the link to a blogroll in the Blogrolls and Aggregators section of the sidebar, you’ll find a page with the whole blogroll on it.  For example, here’s the page for the League of Reformed Bloggers.
• The new photo of me is really an old photo that was in the sidebar of my old blog three years ago.  So no, I’m not getting younger looking as I age.  I hope to have a more recent photo posted soon, after I declutter my head with a haircut. 
  

That’s it.  Thanks for stopping by, and come back soon.

Answering the questions from the tour group:

1. What blogging software are you using?  It’s Squarespace.  Oldest son has a review of Squarespace that includes a run through all the features.
   
2. Who designed your template?  It’s a regular Squarespace template, but Squarespace allows you to customize their stock templates more easily and thoroughly than, for instance, the new Blogger does.
3. Do you have trackbacks?  Yes.  Click on My response is on my own website in the comments and you’ll find both a trackback URL and a form you can fill out if you don’t have automatic pinging.

Any more questions?

I've updated my blogroll and my bloglines both. I like the new layout over here, very clean and uncluttered.

Thanks everyone.

I hadn't thought of it, but I should, shouldn't I? That much importing I should be able to manage.

Nice looking digs. I've update my links, etc.

[Kim in ON]

When you said you were working on something, I wondered if perhaps it was a change.

Looks great!

I'm updating my side bar now.
