So, it appears I've let this blogging thing slip a little bit over the past few weeks. Sorry about that. I wish I could say that I hada legitimate excuse or two. But the truth is I don't. I've been tied up with a few other things, mostly job-search related. And while that doesn't excuse the lack of Posting - especially when writing a decent blog post isn't the most time-consuming activity - it has led to my mind being focused elsewhere.

Anyhow, enough apologizing. I hope some of you are still reading, or will at least come back and start reading again, because I'm planning on getting back to posting on a more frequent basis.

As a first step toward posting more often, I'm planning a couple small changes to this blog. First off, I've decided to abandon my self-imposed rule that all my posts have to start with the letter B. While I started this blog with that as my schtick (B Log = posts that start with B), I'm starting to realize that a good blog doesn't need schtick. Besides, as a writer and editor, limiting myself to writing post headlines that start with the same letter all the time was starting to drive me bonkers. So from now on, some posts will start with B (particularly the regular features I've already introduced), and some won't.

Secondly, I'm searching for a new look. This template has worked great for me as I've taught myself about the blogging world over the past couple of months, but it has its restrictions. I'm looking for something cleaner and more user-friendly. I hope to have something new in place in the next couple of weeks. In the meantime, if you have any suggestions for good Blogger templates, send them my way.
