RSS feed ending! Please update your links!

I'm switching my blog (my entire web site, actually) over from Blogger to WordPress this weekend. If you're reading this via an RSS feed, this is the end of the line - PLEASE take a sec and resubscribe yourself to the new feed. And for my readers who do things the old-fashioned way, just hop on over to the main page at www.bobschaefer.com - that's where all the new stuff (including blog posts) will be happening.

If you have any questions, just fire me off an e-mail, and I'll help you out.

Here's to a smooth transition!

Maintenance

I'm doing some blog maintenance this weekend. The blog may behave strangely, go away temporarily, not be updated for a while, or other assorted weirdness. Sorry. Hopefully this will lead to some good changes down the road. Thanks for your patience!

Photo test

I hope this works – if it does, it’s extremely easy to include pictures in my blog posts. The one at left is Gretchen’s favorite “engagement” picture. It was taken the weekend after we got engaged, while we were painting with friends at All Fired Up! in WL.

Time to publish it and see what happens. Here goes…

Now featuring “Writer”

I’m using a new tool to post to my blog, Microsoft’s Windows Live Writer. I like it really well so far, and the reaction in the blogosphere seems to be positive, too.

My next post will be a test to see how uploading a picture goes.

A word to my friends in Wapakoneta, OH...

Sometimes the most interesting thing about having a web site is reading the logs that tell you what people are searching for when they land on your pages. Tonight, as I was perusing the data, I came across the following foreboding search from a user in Wapakoneta, Ohio:

how to oust a pastor biblically

Looks as though one of my colleagues over in Ohio has his or her hands full!

If it helps you out, friends, your nemesis is browsing the web on a Windows Vista computer using Internet Explorer 7.0, with a screen resolution of 1024 x 768 and a Time Warner RoadRunner high speed connection... beware!

(Oooh... I just felt so Alberto Gonzales there for a moment...)

A paper in the waiting room

While you wait for that update I promised, here's some reading material: The New York Times considers the Minnesota state legislature interesting enough in light of the last election to have begun a series on politics under the dome (the marble one in St. Paul, not the poofy one across the river).

Signs of life...

Wow, it's been a long time since my last post. And lots has happened in the meanwhile. Look for an update here within the next 24 - the blog lives! Long live the blog!
