Well, I apologize for not having much new content over the past week. I’ve been intending to merge my blogger site and my website into one for numerous reasons:
- I like my domain name as opposed to something.blogspot.com
- I’ve noticed that most of the folks who would visit and comment on my blogger articles wouldn’t go to my website to view the support textual work
- I hated the fact that blogger was always experiencing slow times
- I definitely got tired, quickly, of my last website design
- Did I mention I like my domain name?
Anyway, it took a while to get this up and running. I haven’t messed with PHP for a few years. And, my MySQL skills were a tad bit rusty. So, this was actually a long, but fun exercise. And I really enjoyed tweaking my style sheet to try to get things working for all of the various browsers. If it doesn’t work for yours, well…
I do hope this new look and design works well for you. I will likely continue to make adjustments as we continue. Plus, I’m looking forward to adding support for the more geeky side of me. There’s much technical “stuff” I’d like to be able to post and share with others in a collaborative fashion.
And thanks again for your patience.

Looks good! The techy lingo is way over my head. Guys like me couldn’t blog without blogger.

Hey thanks! I wouldn’t worry about the techy stuff all that much. I was just torn on the idea of having two different sites for folks to bounce back forth between. Plus, since I put my blogger site up, most of my visits went there.
We’ll see how long I like this one.

WOW!!! I like this design. Very well done.

Thanks Lisa! I really appreciate it. Also, Chelle gave me your message, and the answer is no I haven’t.

Hey, Chelle told me about your missionary friends child. Praying for them.

Wow, Mike! This is a great look for you!! And it was really nice to read your testimony.

That last comment was from JenM. I didn’t know how to leave my name. You may have noticed that I am very protective about personal information.

Thanks for the prayers Lisa. They’re always much appreciated.
Jen, thanks for the compliments. It’s always nice to hear from you. And that’s funny about the name. It looks like Tk has you hooked on the anonymous thing

Nah, I really don’t know how to leave my name-maybe I’ll just use a symbol like the artist formerly known as Prince *$
(That’s star bucks, get it?)

You’re not seeing a box that asks for your name? I’m perplexed.

Very nice design Mike. My domain name is still mired in my old web site that I hardly ever work on anymore. I envy you getting everyting consolidated. I appreciate all of your hard work in the pursuit of truth and I always appreciate your comments.
In Christ

Thanks Mike! BTW, if you need help converging stuff, let me know. I can always help you get wordpress onto your domain and then move everything over.
Just let me know.

I see the name box, but it’s just SO hard-such a pain-to type it out.

Jen, if that’s you, just get your dog to fill it out.

OK, so Jen got me to type for her since I’m better at it. I like the looks of your blog-better than Jen’s. She’s really slow when it comes to anything technical. We’d be living in the stone ages here if it weren’t for Mr.M.

I’m laughing right now. You must be in one funky mood

I’ve noticed that what I write reflects my mood more than a mirror, more than the words I say or even the way I walk.

So… when you’re writing as Rufus, it’s because …
It’s okay. I’m in one of my bizarre moods right now.
