Daves suggestions about blogging...

These are some basic principles that have helped me...





  1. Blog forcefully : I shoot for once a week. If i don't aim for anything i end up not pursuing it.

  2. Blog purposefully : I use a blog as a place to get teaching ideas out of my head, summarize books I've been reading so i can remember them better, jot down random thoughts to come back to, and update family on what's going on with Lisa and I.

  3. Get a "reader" I use google reader and added it to my home page. It automatically tells me when a new post has come up and eliminates the need to keep checking back.

  4. Short and sweet beats long and rambling. They don't all need to be super deep. Remember the reason for this is to keep each other involved in each others lives despite the fact we all live hours apart.


I'm excited about this new dimension of community. Chris the template looks good, a little bland maybe some pic in the header.



Any thoughts on reading through a book together in a few months?



Any thoughts on including the James Conley experience or Joel Sewell in this mix?

Ah yes. Joel and James. I forgot to invite them to this. I just send them friend invites on Facebook, but do you want to go ahead and invite them to the blog?

Right after I finish writing this, I'll make y'all admins so you can do that.
