I told you a while back that the “Writer - Thinker - Fat Guy” theme was only temporary. I’ve been in what seems to be a permanent creative funk since then, and I’ve been struggling to come up with a decent idea.
Anyone who has followed my blogging over the years knows that I love to do the occasional redesign, but in this case I have a more utilitarian purpose in mind, which made the process more difficult.
My original blog was created in 2003 with the intention of making it an online portfolio of my written (and other) work. It didn’t turn out that way, and over time my focus changed and evolved. I am now comfortable covering a more broad range of subjects than when I started, though I still maintain a primary emphasis on my faith, the political arena, and the culture that surrounds us.
The experience I’ve earned has brought me to a point where I think I can finally make this into what I always wanted it to be - the dynamic, ever-growing resume of a freelance writer. As such, I wanted to reflect a more professional appearance and create, in marketing speak, a “brand identity.”
I hope I’ve accomplished the beginning of this theme with the new header. I’ll be continuing to make tweaks and changes to better streamline the blog with this in mind, but I doubt you’ll notice.
Now we return you to our regularly scheduled posting.
