As of now, I will be taking a break from regular blogging for one and a half months. The holidays are a busy time; and afterwards, in January, my wife and I will be taking three weeks’ honeymoon. I won’t be posting much if at all during this time, although I might post something occasionally if inspired. (I intend to attend the Eastern APA meeting this year, since it’s in Boston; I might be particularly moved to write something by events there, we will see. If any of my regular readers/commenters will be coming, let me know and perhaps we can meet.) In the meantime, do feel free to leave additional comments. I’m delighted that the comments on the blog have become so active lately, and I thank all the commenters for their lively participation.
I will return to regular blogging in early February. When I do, my posting schedule will be reduced, from twice a week to once (on Sundays). The main reason: my blog posts have gotten steadily longer. When I began they averaged about 400 words; now they’re closer to 1000. I think this is a good thing overall; 1000 words gives me the space to develop an argument more fully. (I had originally tried to keep posts short out of fear that longer posts would scare an audience away, but this has happily turned out not to be the case.) But two 1000-word posts a week is tough to sustain, so I’m pulling back a bit. I’m hoping the reduction in post frequency might also give me time to develop the blog in other ways – such as redesigning the blog’s visual theme as I had earlier suggested. (No, I haven’t forgotten about that.)
Thank you all for reading, and I’ll see you in February!
Best wishes
Thanks!
Have a good one, Amod! Do post on your reactions to the Eastern APA sessions if you encounter anything interesting. I won’t be attending. I hope to get my blog ready by the end of the holidays. Thanks again for your suggestions!
I look forward to seeing the blog, Thill.
Thanks, Skholiast. I will be registering soon as a commenter on your blog! You have been warned! lol
Good luck to everyone in the new year!
Thanks, Thill. I too look forward to seeing your blog go up – and I understand why the middle of the semester was not a good time to try! Email me if you need more help in setting it up. I’ll be away from email for a few stretches in the coming month, but will try to respond when I get to a computer. But from what I’ve seen it looks like you’re pretty well ready to go.
Thanks, Amod. My blog is up at:

My war on baloney has begun! I will soon post on “The Baloney of Skepticism”. lol
You’ll be missed, Amod. Have a good trip. I’ll be waiting.
Thanks very much, Skholiast, and thanks for all your thoughtful posts and comments. Keep up the good work on your own blog.
Hi,
Just found this blog, and it looks very interesting, but the white type on black background is a killer for my tired old eyes. Any chance of switching to a theme that’s easier to read?
Eric
Thanks for posting, Eric. You are not the only one who’s had this complaint. That will definitely be one of the things I change in the upcoming redesign. I can’t promise that it will happen soon, but it will happen.
