Welcome to My New Blog!

Thanks for dropping by my new blog.  My blogging journey began back in 2005, when I starting blogging under “Theoblogy,” using a free blogspot blog.  (The word “blog” appears far too much in that sentence.)  Then I migrated to WordPress and used the domain TonyJ.net.  All the posts from those two blogs have been imported here.

A year ago, I accepted an offer to blog at Beliefnet, and TonyJ.net was repurposed as a landing page for my professional life.  While I think that Bnet did raise the exposure of my blogging, I was continually frustrated at how hamstrung I was on the technical side.  Things in the blogosphere are changing rapidly, and Bnet, being owned by a big corporation (News Corp) just didn’t have the ability to move as quickly as I had hoped.  Plus, I never reached their top echelon of bloggers, as far as numbers, so it didn’t make much sense for them to pour resources into my blog.  They have said that I will be able to import my Bnet posts here, but it will take some time for that to happen.

So here I am, back at WordPress, learning the incredible power of the Thesis theme.  And blogging.  I don’t know how it will evolve, but at this point, my goals are that posts here would be more personal, more often, less argumentative, and more hopeful.

I hope you’ll consider adding my blog to your blogroll, subscribing to the feed, and participating in the comments here.

Again, thanks for stopping by.
