A New Look for Spring

As you can tell, our blog has discarded the old brown look that is so last year, and gotten a chic new makeover for spring. (Despite the current wintry theme.) I mostly designed it myself, but stole some elements of other blogs I like. Hope you like it! I'm sure I'll continue to mess with the design occasionally.

By the way, did you know you can leave comments on our blog? Some of you write to me or David with your thoughts on occasional blog posts, which is always appreciated. Please keep those coming. But leaving a comment is even easier, so I wanted to make sure everyone knew about it. Here's what you do:

1. Click the link that says "comments" at the bottom of the blog post.
   
2. Enter your comment in the box, and be sure to sign your name at the bottom.
3. Click "Publish Comment."
4. Note: You can't edit a comment after you've posted, but you can delete it.

I have added a comment from myself as an example. They don't have to be full of praise like my goofy one - just your thoughts on the subject of the post that you don't mind other people reading. And if you ask a question, I will answer it with another comment. To read other people's comments, just click on the "comments" link at the bottom.

Another new feature is labels, which was added by Blogger. You can see those at the bottom of this post. Labels are keywords I can give to each post, which helps to organize them by subject. If you click on a label, you can see all the posts with that subject. Not terribly exciting, but worth a mention in case you were wondering what they are about.

In related news, over the weekend I tinkered with the design of ReligionFacts, especially the homepage. If you have a chance and are interested, please check it out by clicking here. I welcome any thoughts on it, as always.

And I wrote a few new articles recently, including: the issue of depictions of Muhammad, a few new Buddhist symbols, the Amish, Chinese belief in ghosts, Hindu holy men that hang out by the Ganges, and the sacred cow in Hinduism, should you happen to be interested in such things.

Yes, Dad, I'll get back to German now!
