New Commenting System! Hopefully we can make the switch smoothly. Click for more details and troubleshooting.

Many apologies to everyone who has been having problems commenting here! The “you’re posting too fast” message is something a lot of people are getting. It seems this is a problem with the Patheos commenting system—it’s that there are too many comments total being posted on all Patheos blogs, not that an individual commenter is commenting too quickly.

I just spent the better part of my morning doing some organizing here on the blog—namely, organizing some of the ongoing projects I feature here at Love, Joy, Feminism. I’d encourage you to take a look at them and also to consider participating in them. Each project has a main page that I’ve put some work into and is hopefully both inviting and easy to navigate.

I’d like to offer more guest posting opportunities.

In this piece I take a moment to go through my ten most popular posts of 2012. Come have a look!

I’ve noticed that some of my readers have been using my comments sections, where relevant, to point to their own blog or to a post they once wrote. This is completely fine by me, but since some of you have expressed reticence about “tooting your own horn,” I thought I’d create a post specifically for tooting your own horn. Do you have a blog? Do share!

As several of you have requested, I’ve created a tip jar in my right sidebar. I’ve also found a local charity opportunity and thought I’d give you the opportunity to participate. What charities are you giving to this holiday season? Please share!

At the rate I am currently reviewing Created To Be His Help Meet, I will be reviewing it for years. This isn’t necessarily a problem except that I have other books I want to review in the same way. So I thought I’d solicit your opinions.

Since the article I posted on losing faith in the pro-life movement went viral, I thought I’d put up a little introduction for new readers. First of all, if you’re new here, welcome! This post will give you an idea of who I am, where I’m coming from, and what I write about. It will also explain the series of guest posts I run on this blog and outline the various projects I’ve put together.

Any discussion of homeschooling seems to become extremely polarized* almost inevitably. When I was a child, I only ever heard good things about homeschooling – and my parents and the other parents around them would not consider that there could be any downsides or drawbacks to homeschooling. At the same time, there are also those who are opposed to homeschooling who refuse to consider that there could be any positive aspects to homeschooling either. This sort of polarization isn’t good, and it doesn’t make for a healthy discussion.
