Be Patient

For someone who has been blogging for a couple of years now, I'm really not the most computer savvy person you'll ever meet. I started out with writing five different blogs but it was nearly impossible to publish regular content for each of them. It became so frustrating that I nearly gave up blogging all together.

My next bright idea was to try tying my different blogs together using an awkward system of linking. My theory was that I could post everything on a master blog and re-post the same articles on sub-blogs of more specialized interests (Greek, creation, etc). Besides having to publish all of my posts twice, there were a lot of other problems with this: for example, different people would leave comments for the same post on different sites. Also, corrections were difficult since I had to correct every place I had published the post. In spite of all my efforts, I was never really satisfied with the result.

After much frustration, I realized that instead of using different sites, I could group my posts using labels. Of course, after 2½ years of publishing, I already had a fair amount of articles archived – many of which had comments. Importing them all into my main blog seemed daunting so I resisted.

Well, I've done it. I've imported all of my sub-blogs into my main blog. Most of the comments have survived but there were a few hiccups. You may find duplicate comments, duplicate posts, or broken links. I'll correct these as I find them. I've deleted all the posts from my sub-blogs and left only a single post with a link directing traffic to here. After 90 days, these should also be gone.

I'll continue posting here for now but my next goal is to move this entire blog to a different site. I originally chose “RKBentley” because I wanted a kind of brand (like Trump, Sears, or J C Penney) but now I'm leaning toward something more Christ focused. I'm not sure exactly what name to use yet but I want a title more descriptive of my objective. I'll have something soon.

I enjoy a fair amount of traffic to my blog but I would like to reach more people. These and other changes are all geared toward the end. For those of you who have visited my blog, I hope you will find see these changes as an improvement.

God bless!!
