I'm trying (though I've tried before!) to get back into the Blogosphere, and actually use it for semi-professional purposes.
That would probably require a reboot here (for me to stop worrying about my backlog, and the YEARS worth of content that would've been great to have posted about, but never was).
And while I think I'll probably keep this Blogger Classic Template (I'm one who does not like change!), the blogroll needs drastic revision - So many of those sites are alas no longer even up!
And my WordPress blog - which seemed like it had potential when I jump-started it in August 2010 - needs upgrading, as well. It was originally installed in 2007, and I recall reconnecting with Jeremy Clover - after I jump-started it in 2010 - about an upgrade. I still need to figure that out... WordPress has changed since then.
I'm glad to have posted a Christmas Eve entry here (below) - That was done quickly, amidst what's become my annual Christmas Eve blitz (like in 2010 and 2011)... It actually published wrong, because I didn't realize, with the new (newer, newer, new :-) Blogger format, the HTML field doesn't recognize line-breaks, like before.
ANYWAY:
Like in prior years, there was a bunch of Christmas-related content that I wish I could've posted, but didn't. And like in prior years, we've extended Christmas!
Like I did two years ago at my WordPress site (and I see
I did here, too), I'm going to write and publish a "Year-end Angst" entry. And like year-after-year, I'm a few hours behind on everything tonight - Then again, I'm also a few days behind, at least. Maybe we can extend 2012, a little longer? :-)
That year-end post was going to go here, but it will be published next.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, to you and yours!!

Wow.
(Don't even have the time to mention my backlog or much background... I was hoping (see prior posts) to reboot this weblog anyway, and not have to worry about that!
When at West Side just a bit ago, I was thinking about how on Christmas Eve last year, I also missed (I think) the Christmas Eve church service - but I recall posting, via Twitlonger from my Android Samsung smartphone.
I was going to do so again... But haven't had the chance to post anything yet - except on FourSquare! I also remembered how I used my Droid to post a Blogger draft (or perhaps publish the entry?) - I really need to get back into all this!
I was glad to be in contact with
Josh Sabo & Christi Walden (via Web2.0) earlier today - and I was easily able to find my Twitlonger piece from last year, and from the year before. [In 2010, I also posted at my WordPress blog!]

It's it neat being able to know what you were doing in Christmases past (without having to try & remember)? #lol
Last year, I was going to head to
Central Baptist Church, but from the lobby (& then parking lot) of WestSide, I did a phone web search, and saw that my good friend from high school's church (Parkway Christian Church, where
his father is the pastor) was having a Christmas Eve service. I called the church, to see if Ben was going to be there; she told me he was (and she let him know I was coming)! It was good to see Ben - we hadn't spoken since
the Iraq War was starting, back in 2003.
I ended up going to CBC after that - for the end of their Candlelight Service. Not only did I see Josh, but I saw Christi Walden as well!
This time
Right now, I'm at Capernaum House, after leaving West Side's Fireside Cafe. After going somewhere with Mark, I'm going to CBC for their service... Parkway's isn't until 11pm tonight!
(As I
said before: Wouldn't it be neat if church services were at 11pm, more often?! :-)
