Almost!
I’ve been busy noodling around with the new forum and am noodling around with plans on an expanded site (in addition to other projects I have going on).
I’m seriously considering moving this blog (and Urban Hellenistos) over to the expanded site, in addition to the primary site blog — which, at this time, will be focused on media reviews for Hellenists — because there will be a lot of pros to this.
The most apparent “pros” are that I’d be able to install additional plug-ins and themes — I really like this idea, especially for this blog, which is more devotional than the other one. I know in various Pagan and Polytheist sites, people will debate for days about whether or not on-line offerings, things that are less “tangible” than traditional votive offerings and sacrifice, are good offerings to the Theoi. I see it this way: Anything that you put a lot of work into can be a good offering to a God. Is it going to be on the same level as something that I can hold in my hands, burn, and so forth? No, definitely not, but the harder one works at it, the more apparent that lot of hard work will be, and through that hard work, love and devotion to certain Theoi will shine through.
Another “pro” will be that attachments won’t have as low a storage limit (not like that’s an immediate issue for me right now — my attachments here haven’t even passed 1% of my wordpress.com storage limit).
Well, I think my decision has been made. On the down side, this means updating links at places and what-not, but it could be worse. I shall keep you wonderful readers posted.
Now that that’s out of the way, the next Eros & Aphrodite chat will be 10pm(EST / GMT-0500) on Monday, 27 April 2009 — which would be 4 Thargeleon 696-4, as per the Attic calendar (which, according to Wikipaedia, would be 4 Theilouthios as per the Boeotian calendar). Tell your friends! It’s only a week away!
