Update to the non-blog

A friend just told me that some people have actually left comments on my non-blog blog page. I apologize to all of you (if you check back) for not having discovered this for myself. As you can imagine, I've discovered that my resident expert was wrong and that there is no way to post technical papers and a curriculum vitae to a blogger blog page. What I really wanted was a home page, and I got that with yahoo. It is here. That page is not a blog either but gets updated on an on-going basis, which this does not.

I blog from time to time at Right Reason, the weblog for philosophical conservatism. I did blog at a page called Enchiridion Militis, run by Josh Trevino, the Internet maven of Redstate fame. Its focus was on the threats to Christendom from Islam and from liberalism. But Josh consolidated some web projects and partly withdrew from blogging, and EM was a casualty in that process. Some of the old EM folks are working on a successor site, hopefully to be up by May of 07. I'll try to remember to update here on that, but in any event, I will certainly link it on my simple home page.

Thanks, Lifeethics, for the citation. I'm glad you liked the phrase. I enjoy interacting with you guys on Wesley Smith's Secondhand Smoke, too.

This is (really) not a blog

I've signed up for my own blog page in the hopes that this will provide me a place to post my curriculum vitae on-line and also some papers. The idea is that right now it's very hard to find "me" on the Internet. It was drawn to my attention last year that someone on a blog referred to me as a "bad-ass epistemologist." (No, I don't have his URL but will eventually look it up.) I can't to this day figure out how he had heard of me, because nearly all of my publications are buried in paper journals. This is good for the look of the vitae but bad for anyone who is trying to find out who the heck I am. I post on Right Reason, the blog for Conservative Philosophers (google it), and even there I have no place for a vitae. As a non-academic, I have no personal web page. So last night I asked my resident expert (my husband), "How can I get a web page of my very own to which to post papers?" His answer was to get a blog page and post papers there. I still feel skeptical about whether this will work. I really don't want to post my papers as verrry long blog entries. So I may need his expertise. For the moment, I'm just trying to get this page to show up--when I type in its supposed URL, I get a message that it doesn't exist. So maybe it requires an initial entry to prime the pump. Here goes!
