changes on my blog
ok, so for those of you who just read my blog posts in your RSS newsreader, you probably have not noticed that i have undertaken in some cosmetic and layout changes on my blog. these are certainly works in progress (basically just me fiddling around with CSS to see what happens) and a much larger makeover is planned hopefully in the near future. as i add new features and content, i will write posts about them.
additionally, i have now turned off all comments on my blog. this is in now way meant to stifle any discussion; it is meant to encourage it. however, if you want to respond to something i write, i encourage you to write a response post on your own blog. my philosophy on blogs has been evolving, and i feel like any good discussion on a post i write would just get lost in the comments section if left there. posting a response on your own blog (or if you do not have one, writing an email with permission for me to repost it and respond) allows for a much more open discussion. actually my next post is going to be in response to a lengthy comment i received a few days ago.
