My blog

[robvalue]

Thank you!

I started out intending it to be a blog, but it's turned into something quite different, more of a resource for new atheists or ones looking for more info. If I ever get it to the stage where I think it's good enough, I'll have to think about promoting it more as I doubt many people are seeing it at the moment. I thought that at least it may help people on this forum until then.

Well, I hope it soon becomes everything you hope it to be I believe in you, Valuable Rob It looked pretty good last time I checked it out... when I get more energy, I can return to giving better feedback again

Looks good so far. As someone whose blog just ticked over to 10 years old, the most important thing is to keep writing. Write about things that are interesting to you, but keep posting. If you stop, people stop looking.

Wow Rob, I haven't checked it out since you first made this thread. Damn dude! Looks great!

Also, I love your readings of the Never Ending Story...lol! It's fun to see what a person looks and sounds like IRL as opposed to how you imagine them based solely on their username/writings.

Cephus: thank you. I would love to add to it more regularly, sadly my lack of energy restricts what I can do. But I'll try and keep adding to it when I can

Nestor: really? Wow thank you! That means a lot, I appreciate it. I find it very hard to evaluate my own work, I always have a little voice in my head saying, "It's a bit shit, isn't it." I'm hoping it would be of some use to people new to atheism and apologetics at least. Yeah the story videos are a lot of fun to do, glad you like them I want to do more of them when I've got the energy to type them up.

I'm thinking the next thing I need to do is a glossary, both to help with words on my site that may not have obvious meaning, and in general regarding these subjects.

The most important part of having a blog in the first place is to write regularly. The most successful blogs post every single day, most multiple times a day. They continue to provide new content that brings readers back over and over again. If you have nothing to say, why have a blog in the first place? It's a commitment, one that I've had for more than a decade, I have never written less than 4x per week in all that time.

I have chronic fatigue syndrome, and it's more like a resource than a blog now. If you look at it more closely that should be apparent.

I'm wondering whether to make an amendment on my website, and I'm looking for opinions please

It seems to me now that strong atheism is not necessarily gnostic atheism, at least as commonly used. Instead, strong atheism is the belief that there is no gods, which may optionally be increased to gnostic atheism if this is made into a knowledge claim.

Who would agree that this is correct and a change worth making please?

Maybe you should not use jargon that is rarely used. Keep it simple. http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/us/def...sh/atheism
Disbelief or lack of belief in the existence of God or gods.
http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/us/def...sh/atheist
A person who disbelieves or lacks belief in the existence of God or gods.

Just qualify the range of disbelief from holding something to be false to just not holding it true.

Yeah, it's probably too much detail. Good point. People are too confused about it already! I'll leave it as it is.

Thanks!
