Here an update, there an update...

... everywhere an update.

That's what I've been trying to do little by little on the blog, anyway. I sometimes fall behind with archiving my United Methodist Reporter columns. But I got caught up on that tonight, so you can scroll through all of them up to the most recent one by clicking on the "UM Reporter Columns" tab in the left-hand sidebar (or by just clicking here). The columns are archived chronologically, with the most recent one at the top. You can also use the drop down menu to look at different years going back to 2005.

I've also been trying to enhance the blog a little bit by attaching topic labels to the end of each post. That's something I just never did before, for some reason. But it is a nice feature to include, since I tend to write about recurring topics again and again. So for instance, if you find a post with the label, "Young Adults," you can click on it and get a page with all the posts I've written pertaining to young adults in some form or fashion. Or if you see a post with the label, "UMC," you can click on it to see what I've written about the United Methodist Church. It's a bit of a tedious process to go back and add the labels after neglecting that feature for three years, but so far I've got about 1/3 of the posts labeled. This is my 315th post (in a little under three years of blogging), and I hope to have every post labeled within the next couple of weeks.

While I'm on the subject of blog housekeeping, let me say that I'm always open to ways to enhance this site either through content or presentation. So feel free to leave a comment or shoot me an e-mail. I'm limited by both time and money as to what I can do, of course. But I am always eager to get feedback from readers about what works and doesn't work.
