Slowly getting the hang of some things. For a while, I was too disoriented to even know how to identify what was disorienting me. Saw some comments in kos’s latest diary that helped me figure it out (mostly looking for things is counter-intuitive — looks like most of that will be addressed thanks to smarter minds than mine being able to identify specific issues).
I don’t know how I feel about “too much white space.” It doesn’t jump out at me as a problem, but maybe I would like it better with less? I dunno.
Right now I’m just seeing how writing a diary post story is.
I miss being able to use html — it was nice to learn how to do something and be able to apply it. Not having it isn’t the end of the world.
No diary post story preview is scary.
Mainly writing this to avoid a stack of work on what’s left of this lovely Saturday morning.
The main diary post story I have planned is a review of James Gustafson’s Can Ethics Be Christian? It does a wonderful job decoupling religion and morality. It’s a work of Christian ethics, but it’s an extended meditation on the observation that a secular colleague had better ethical insight and aptitude than the author. Maybe I’ll get around to it one of these days.
I’ve felt kind of out of sync with the site for a while. Still like what it offers, still grateful to kos for creating the place and changing the national conversation. Still mad at Scarborough for deep-sixing kos on MSMBC. (Had to remember the difference between deep-sixing and 69ing — very different.)
OK. I guess that’s it. Let’s find out how publishing works.
