…new blog. In all honesty, I just got so sick of blogger. I spent half my Saturday trying to figure out how to make a post split (you know, so you can have a snippet of your post and then a link that says ‘Continue reading post here…’ or some such nonsense) only to find out that, after altering the code of my blog severely, I really can’t do it the way I want to.
But here at wordpress, where the sky is blue and all the birds sing is four part harmony, all you have to do is click a button. It’s very friendly to the coding languages I’m learning at work, and all around better if you want to do more than just write on your blog.
Anyway, I hope you like the new digs. Feel free to send housewarming gifts or just comment on how much you like it.
Thanks for stopping by, and the promised, more extensive post on how the new job is going should be up shortly.

Thanks for the link.
Also, do we get to see the post that blogger wouldn’t truncate?

Good call…I am holding out hope that blogger fixes its issues.

I have long considered changing, but I have such huge archive already built on my crumby xanga site that I don’t know if it’s worth it. Plus, the internet is stupid and I have a huge love/hate relationship with it. Maybe I’ll just download my whole archive and then shut down MysteriumFidei and never look back.

Shoot, sorry everyone, I had no idea about the comment moderation nonsense. I was just sitting around feeling sorry for myself wondering why no one was commenting. So thanks, now I’ve got the motivation to post something again!

I think I’ll and here at WordPress myself in a month or so Matt. So, nice choice. Also Dave, I think you can carry over your Xanga archives over to WordPress with ease. Least that’s what I’ve heard.

Ben,
That’s St. Mark Parish in Salzburg, Austria. It’s one of two Byzantine Catholic Churches in Austria. Frankly, it’s the only picture of an iconostas I could find that fit the parameters of my new blog header. I plan to get one of the iconostas at St. George, my parish in Aurora, IL. Although I might just switch it out with appropriate icons for the feasts. We’ll see. Thanks for asking though!

Matt
