I Will Not Die

I’ve just posted my somewhat lengthy autobiography on the About page. You can view it here. I decided to add it for several reasons. As I mentioned before, I’ve had a few people ask, but the biggest reason was that I’ve found it extremely difficult to spell out, clearly, the origins of my perspective. I haven’t been able to clearly identify the true essence of my own aims here. For most people that come here, I think it might be difficult for them to fully acknowledge what I mean when I say, I Will Not Die. Most can get the general drift, but most cannot imagine the full range of my intent. And because that intent is so intertwined with my experience of life, I’ve never been able to say it just right, until now, now that I’ve spelled out my life.

RSS feed update

I’m encouraged by the number of new rss subscribers I am getting. It’s been increasing at a rate of ten percent, almost every day. At the same time though, there are days when I lose about as many as I gain. I’ve decided to open up the feed for full syndication, instead of the partial syndication that it’s had since the site began. I back syndicated it so that all prior posts should now be fully available. I hope this helps retain more existing readers, as well as give as much reason as possible for new members to stay. If you’re relatively new, pleasure to meet you

About page

I’ll soon be adding a somewhat lengthy autobiography to the about page, for two reasons: several people have now asked for more details about my background, and I think it’s important to share with my readers as much as possible about my life so they can better grasp the essence of the origins of my personal perspectives on life and human effort.

Pardon the mess

The likelihood of my need to sell advertising space outright on the site so that I can leave for the bike tour is increasing as time goes on. This will likely include graphical buttons along the right, and possibly a banner at the top. Unlike traditional advertising, which solely can often interfere or detract from a site’s primary content, this advertising will enable me to do something I really hope will be a terrific thing, so I’m glad to invite some advertisers.

Love to hear from you

Lastly, I’m always looking for any advice my readers might have on how to continue to promote the bike tour. If you have any suggestions on how I can continue to introduce people to the event, I’d absolutely love to hear from you. You can use the contact page to shoot me an e-mail. Oh, and if you haven’t voted in the poll on the main page, I’d love to hear your say.
