It’s time for a change. I’ve been blogging my personal information over at Andrew.Sterling.Hanenkamp.com for a long time. Since at least 2004 or so, I think. Maybe earlier, but I know I don’t have the earliest blog posts there from the days when I used Blosxom for my blogging software. However, I think it’s time for a change.
Why?
A few years back I split my blog in two so that I have a tech blog and a personal blog. For the moment, I want to keep that split going because I feel like the things I type over at Contentment have a totally separate readership (nerdy) than I will have here (friends and believers and, occasionally, angry anti-theists). That’s a distinction in reader interest, not a distinction to me at all since I see both overlapping completely.
However, I do want the focus of my blog to shift to something more positive and scriptural. My old blog was a bit too ranty at times and I’m sure this one will do the same, but I want the focus to be on my true passion, the Word of God. That’s why I bought this domain a few years ago and now I’m finally putting it to use.
New, Regular Content
Another thing I will attempt now is to post a little more regularly. I have a couple regular postings already planned and started.
First, tomorrow should see the first release of Sterling’s Stash which will be a post containing a bunch of interesting links I’ve gleaned from around the web, blogs I like, my feeds, the news, things friends send me, funny videos, etc. In the past, I’ve been known to post these things to Facebook and/or Twitter, which I will continue to do some, but this will be an expanded version that contains a longer list of things I’ve compiled.
Second, I’ve been studying 2 Peter and am usually in the midst of some personal study. I will be posting a segment from my personal studies once a week. I don’t know when I will schedule these yet, but probably I will put them together on Sunday and they will appear on the blog Wednesday or something.
Third, I am almost always reading a book or two or three. I plan to post one note each week about that book. These will probably appear whenever.
And then, of course, whatever else strikes my fancy. I will try to at least post something short on the days I schedule things and consider working myself up to one post per day here and at Contentment.
Oh, and one other thing. I’m not using Facebook notes anymore. I don’t my comments over there. I want them here. I will post notifications to Twitter and Facebook, but not full notes.
Anyway, we’ll see how successful I actually am shortly…
Cheers.
