It's been over a month since I have posted to this blog. Much of the time I have been away on vacation and, to be frank, just not in the mood to blog.

There is another factor: I've decided that my blog entries have become too long. Long posts take time, not only to write, but then to proof-read, edit, reorganize, etc. into something approaching coherent prose.

To make matters a little worse, my website editor (RapidWeaver) takes a long time to send updates to the server. I am going to tweak some settings to see if I can't speed things up.

There are many times when I felt the urge to make a quick blog entry, but didn't due to the amount of time it would require. So, I am going to try two things. First, my posts will become, for the most part, dramatically shorter, almost to the point of becoming a Tumblelog. Second, I am going to look into switching over the whole site to Tumblr, or some other quick entry system, to streamline blogging.
