New post types

Norm — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 12:20:10 +0000

I have been mulling over the way in which I produce content for the site and think I will be moving to some new media types, i.e. audio and video blogs for a few of the posts. I really want to get some more interactive material up on the site too to encourage debate and conversation. Anyway, I will be beavering away on the background stuff to make this possible and keep you informed over the coming weeks.

New article series on the horizon

Norm — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 12:15:27 +0000

It has been the best part of two months since my last meaningful post. This has been down to a number of factors but mainly down to the fact I started to write a post on sustainability of small atheist social groups which grew into a five part essay on atheist communities. I will be posting this essay in its five parts once a week starting this weekend. Watch this space!

Over the next few weeks I am going to be updating soem of the background workings of the site to try and make the wholse site easier to navigate for visitors and to make the variety of subjects I write about a little more compartmentalised. In the mean time though, you should definitely start checking out the categories I use to find related articles to the oens you like.

Twitter interface fixed.

Norm — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 11:56:24 +0000

Managed to get my Twitter interface fixed following the issues surrounding the recent DDoS. The feed should now produce the proper posts once a week and the idebar widget should now function correctly. I haven’t tested whether Twitter followers can actually see my new posts, will update as required.
