Besides this blog, I also blog at Participatory Bible Study and Jevlir Caravansary. Those two blogs are suffering from server problems. I’m in the process of transferring them to another server, as this has been a frequent problem recently. As the new DNS information finds its way through the internet (or even before, should the…
Jeremy at Free Old Testament Audio is continuing tinkering his system for acquiring and displaying the rankings, and thinking about how to decide who belongs on the list.
Jeremy Thompson has taken up the task with a script. There immediately follows the inevitable question of just who is a biblioblogger. I had only been on the previous list for two months when it went belly up–or not, as the case may be, so I’m not sure if I’m a “real” biblioblogger or not….
James McGrath has proposed a meme, and it even got past my prejudice against memes. He asks for a phrase that makes your blog #1 in the Google search results. I found “she-bears homily” which finds my post which is a proposed a homily given the scripture on Elisha and the She Bears. I don’t…

Someone new has provided Alexa rankings for the Biblioblogs for the month of December. Joel Watts suggests passing this around in order to keep up the competition. I think it would all be fun if less people fought over the whole thing. It’s a bit of fun competition based on some rather loose stats, not…
And I think he pretty much demolishes it as an argument. It is, of course, quite valid to calculate the cost of some policy and then ask whether the result is worth the price, but the simple statement that their is a cost accomplishes nothing. One further note I would add. Just because jobs are…
In this case, it’s the first thing that has really made sense to me. I largely ignored the previous discussion on this topic, falling under the “who cares?” group to which Dr. West refers. I remain less than totally enthusiastic, but I do see the value in identifying scholarly participation on the web. I normally…
I don’t know how it happened, but when I moved my WordPress installation to this server, comment moderation was turned on and the settings reverted to registration required. This represents an error on my part (though I’m not sure just what), not a change in policy. Moderation is again off and any user can comment.
