Changes to the Blog

I have made some changes to this blog to hopefully make it better and easier to use. Here are some of the changes:

Comments are now accepted.
If you would like to make a comment you can do so by using the form at the end of each post. Comments will be moderated. As soon as I approve your comment it will be added to the end of the post. Comments that contain blatant spam, flaming, trolling, or anything mean spirited will not be posted. Also do not post personal information like your last name, email, phone number, or where you live. It is OK to post your honest opinion even if it is negative, but just don't be mean about it. NOTE: Hilary does not read this blog, so if you post a comment directed at her I will probably not post it!


Share Posts.
If you see a post you want to share on facebook, twitter, or many other sites it is now easy to do by simply clicking on the buttons at the end of each post that look like this:
Clicking on "SHARE" will bring up many sharing options.
You can also email a post by clicking on the envelope that looks like this:


Subscribe and Follow:
Subscribe to the blog in RSS by clicking the RSS Icon on the right side of the page, or add the blog directly to Google Reader, My Yahoo, or My MSN.

You can also become a follower of the blog on Google Friend Connect. I'm not really familiar with this service, but there are already quite a few followers of this blog so people must be using it! Click "Follow" at the very top of the blog, or click the button that looks like this on the lower right side of the blog:



Archives are easier to use:
Before the archives were just a list of the weekly posts. Now you can sort through the archives using the little triangle arrows. Go to individual posts, or click on a time period to view all the posts from that period.
