Blog Info / Updates / Suggestions III

Greetings!

A couple of new things to report:

-I've observed other blogs labeling posts and then archiving them on the sidebar for easier access to certain subjects. I think that's a great idea, so I've started going back and labeling posts with various descriptions that are then archived on the sidebar to the right. I've only included about 75 posts so far, so it might take a while to label all of them, but that is my hope. Let me know what you think of this feature, if it should be done differently, etc.

-In the process of going back and labeling posts, I've noticed that there are problems with the format, organization and layout of many past posts. This could be due to the previous change of the style of the blog. I don't think any information was lost, but it may just be rearranged. Bear in mind as you go through previous posts that the order and format of some of the text could be wrong. I apologize for this, and I hope to go back and fix all the problems, but that will take awhile.

-And on a personal note, I'm starting a new job, so most likely I will have less time to post. However, there's a chance that there are previous posts here that might deal with a topic you're interested in, and if not, there are many excellent sources of information out there. Perhaps I'll include a section with some of my most commonly used links down the road.

As I said before, this is a perfect place to post your general comments and concerns about this blog. Feel free to share your thoughts. Thanks.

Your blog is so beautiful. I also really enjoy it (that's why I have added this blog into my sidebar list). And the new feature would make this blog even better! :)

Greetings,

I enjoy your blog as well, haveing recently discovered it, and have myself just started using labels. It is very useful indeed, and helps keep alive some of those older favourite posts that may otherwise have faded into oblivion.

It takes time and patience to get through them all. I have done mine from this year and last, and some of the earliest ones. The ones in the middle will come eventually.

All the best with your new job and do try to post when you are able.

As I mention on the sidebar: "Comments that are irrelevant to the topic of the post will be deleted."

This is one of the best Orthodox blogs I have read, and I thank you for having all of this information for us. I have several friends that enjoy it also. I really have learned a lot! Many thanks!

I seek copyright permission to use your entry on Polycarp in a textbook for classical composition. I would be happy to send details if you could let me know how you would prefer to receive them.
Thanks!

Ms. Cunningham,

I don't have any of my own material on that post, it is all from other sources. I included all the links to me source material; look there to see about copyright information.

Best of luck.

I would like to ask if you have some information about St Sebastian. He was shot with arrows. I have not been able to find much on him. One of my god-sons' saint is St Sebastian. I would like to find more about him, his troparion, kontakion, services..
I only know of 2 icons. Thank you for your help.

For more on St. Sebastian the Martyr of Rome, and those with him, see: http://full-of-grace-and-truth.blogspot.com/2012/01/st-sebastian-martyr-of-rome-and-those.html.

I will try to continue to update that page as I find more information.
