No, I’m not talking about the million dollars I have made via my Amazon affiliation. But my Alexa ranking. This blog has finally broken past the 1,000,000 mark on the Alexa worldwide rankings for the past 90 days. My one month average is 658,614.

“Blog posts are written, not defecated.” That’s the best line in this list of instructions for “good blogs.” I think many bibliobloggers struggle with #1, while we probably excel at number two.

I think WordPress is where it’s at. Blogger has a reputation of being “simpler,” [...]

Nick had a good idea for a list, so I’m going to offer my list of scholars (dead* & alive) that I wish had blogs:
Scott Bartchy [of course]
John Howard Yoder*
Dynamic Dual Blog: Adela Yarbro Collins & John J. Collins

I can’t tell if it’s an exposé of Jim West or Andrew Keen, but it’s a very interesting post nonetheless.
Update (Same Day): The trouble continues. You can find Jim West’s announcement of Chris Heard’s Biblical Studies list removal here (if you’re on the list).

This news is a little late in coming, but a couple weeks ago I was welcomed into the family of The Daily Scribe, which has the description: “A growing compendium of exceptional Christian expression.” One of the things that the Scribe is looking for is open-mindedness and dialogue. I am honored and happy to be [...]

Yesterday, Inside Higher Ed published two “opposing” articles: one from a skeptic of academic blogging (though this skeptic is an academic blogger) and one from an enthusiast of academic blogging. The former is written by Adam Kostko, a doctoral student at Chicago Theological Seminary, and the latter by Scott Eric Kaufman (see his blog), [...]

Best Way to Track Comments on Other People's Blogs?
I will be making the switch to WordPress.org from WordPress.com soon and I’m trying to figure out some of the best options for the switch. I already have had a peek into WP.org because of my wife setting up her new blog on breastfeeding. I have enjoyed the feature available on WP.com called “My Comments”, [...]
