Pretending to be a biblioblog

There has been lots of hoo-ha recently in the biblioblog world (I was trying to type biblioblogosphere but my fingers just wouldn’t let me use such an awful word) about the lack of women who blog biblical studies. Some people have compiled lists of female bibliobloggers, some of which include me.
Um, okay. On [...]

Biblioblogs

Anyone who’s anyone in the world of blogging and biblical studies appears on the Complete List of Biblioblogs. My blog, as you may have noticed, is not really dedicated to biblical studies, though there are occasional posts which would fit into that category. I am pleased to note, however, that Conversational Theology has [...]

I have a website! Come and look at the shiny. (It’s not all pink, I promise.)
This does not mean that I am abandoning the blog, by any means. But the blog doesn’t do everything I want. I’m hoping to expand the website to be a useful resource of links, essays and [...]

Against anonymity in blogging

Recently I seem to have come across a spate of bloggers who want to engage in online discussion and debate without being willing to share their identity.  Not even a Christian name, in some cases.  I think this is a really dangerous practice.  Anonymity allows people to say things they don’t want to own.  Personal [...]

Lost on the internet

A couple of days ago, I came across a cartoon which made me laugh. I remember thinking quite clearly, “I should blog this. But not until I’ve finished my paper. Because Diana people will know that I’ve been surfing the net instead of writing my paper.” So now I’ve finished [...]

It’s the end of a long day

Just saw this on David Field’s blog:
There is a difference between exercising a critical faculty and demonstrating a critical spirit.
Which I thought was going to say:
There is a difference between exercising a critical faculty and being a critical Faculty.
Though the difference may not be as great as it seems.

Baffled

Okay, here’s a thing that’s been confusing me for a while.  Consistently over the last six weeks, this post has had three to four times as much traffic as any other on the blog.  Why?!?  It’s short, there’s no other link to it, nothing.  And, disappointingly, most of those visits haven’t resulted in the all-important [...]

Looking for a blog?

John, over at Ancient Hebrew Poetry has been rounding up the best of the bible blogosphere and sorting it out for those of us who are too lazy to check it out for ourselves.
He has a categorized list (laypeople, students, pastors, professors, publishers etc.) here.
And two posts for his Biblical Studies Carnival – links to [...]

IE6

I’ve just seen what this blog looks like on Internet Explorer 6.  Not a pretty sight.  Apologies to those of you still using that sorry excuse for a web browser.  I had tried it on IE7 which is not perfect but bearable.  IE6 destroys both header and sidebar. Here’s an idea if you’re still stuck [...]

A glitch

There was bound to be. I’ve noticed that if you try to resize the browser window, the sidebar floats across the main text. Also, apparently, if you’re on a different sized screen, it’s not so good. Trying to fix it now!
Okay.   It’s not yet perfect but I need to go to [...]
