I’d like to congratulate Jon on being my 15,000th visitor to my blog!

Over the past few weeks I’ve been thinking a lot about launching my own domain. Blogger is great and all… But the anonymity that I once relished I am now feeling sheepish about. Plus, I am thinking it might be a good idea to have ALL of my online stuff going to one place. There I could put pics of my kids, my talk notes, links to my online friends, links to my students if they want it, ministry resources for both the people I work for [i.e. church folk] and the people I like to support [i.e. online friends.] Plus, of course it would be my blogging home.

Of course, there would be some drawbacks and I would be inviting criticism. So I just don’t know yet. Plus, if I did this merger of my blogs… I wouldn’t release it right away anyway. I think I’d move a lot of my blogger posts to this new home as well and that would take time.

So, it’s a lot to consider and think about. Plus two other factors are slowing me down on it.
A. It will cost me $$$ to have my own domain and URL.
b. I have decide if I want the URL to just be my name, or if I want to convert all blogs go to heaven to it’s own URL. In some respects, it has developed a name for itself… But on the flip side version 2.0 can always be different. Right now I think I might be going for something that is either my name or "livingintentionally.com"

Editorial note: This was my first post on my blogger, version 2.0 of my blog.

Perhaps many people start a blog because they are trying to prove to the world just how smart they are? Perhaps others do it so they can feel like someone is listening to them? Perhaps others do it as a way to share what’s going on in their lives.

But why am I doing this? Mostly as a way to share with myself, just what is going on. I’m not going to use this as a platform for anything else but… Well, whatever I feel like posting. Quotes. Golf scores. Youth Group talks. Carry-over rants. Interesting articles. Stories about the kids. Whatever I want!
