Comments on: Pastoral Blogging, pt 6 http://www.twelvewitnesses.com/2007/07/09/pastoral-blogging-pt-6/ Let these stones be a witness to what we have done here this day. Tue, 22 Nov 2011 19:54:22 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Wayne Hatcher http://www.twelvewitnesses.com/2007/07/09/pastoral-blogging-pt-6/#comment-7536 Wayne Hatcher Tue, 17 Jul 2007 20:44:19 +0000 http://www.twelvewitnesses.com/2007/07/09/pastoral-blogging-pt-6/#comment-7536 Brother Art, My apologies for the late-timed comment, but I have been busy testing various feed readers. After repeated brow beatings I finally broke down and invested some time this weekend trying out various feed readers. I have tried them in the past, but none suited my needs, which amounts to simplicity of use, and being able to read posts from my laptop while off line. What consternation, after finding a reader that meets these two criteria, that I should find that your syndication feed is one of only two I found that only submits a short summary rather than a full text of your posts. A syndication set up in this way requires extra clicks, as well as an on-line status in order to read a whole post. I'm confused; was I wrong to assume that the purpose your Pastoral Blogging series was to show your readers how to make blogging easier. There are reading options in your administration panel that, among other things, give you a choice whether to send a summary feed or a full-text feed. Brother Ben, (in honor of your linguistically supernumerary tendencies) it is with great diffidence that we of this comment thread with trepidation disseminate the intelligence concerning loquacity found at that ecclesiastical on-line journal which goes by the moniker Baptist Blogger, to wit, the said loquacity therein represents the second instance referred to above, which appears on our newly-acquired aggregator as manifesting itself as an encapsulation rather than a plenary representation of your (plural) cogitations. Could you possibly be of assistance in this matter? Honestly, guys, I can't understand why someone hasn't brought this up before now. I enjoy reading you both. Keep up the good work, and blessings. Wayne Hatcher Brother Art,
My apologies for the late-timed comment, but I have been busy testing various feed readers.

The very fact that I took the time to read through your post is indicative of the substance thereof. May I copy this verbatim and publish it on my blog? Thanks, and God Bless!!! BSC Art:
