Bloggernacle Times

That’s all, folks

Visit the active bloggernacle at LDSBlogs.org

With the Bloggernacle now offering dozens of flourishing group blogs and several comprehensive aggregators, the editors have decided The Bloggernacle Times is no longer filling any particular need for the Mormon blogging community. So it’s time to turn out the lights and move on to other online projects. On behalf of the BT editors, I offer a special thanks to all those who have participated by contributing posts, guest posts, and comments over the last two years.

All posts and comments will remain available for now, but no new articles or comments will be posted.

Last Call . . .

This will likely be my last post over here at BT. I have it on pretty good authority, that change is in the wind. But, I just wanted to say thanks to DMI Dave for inviting me to participate, a bit over a year ago. And, thanks to those of you who took time to comment on any of my rants. While I have likely disagreed with some, I’ve appreciated even the differences of opinions, which have at times given me pause to reconsider my own. Anyway, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to interact with all of you over here at BT.

And, for those of you wondering that’s actually Guaraná in that photo.

Reports that American Marriage is Increasingly Only for the Wealthy

Seth — Thu, 08 Mar 2007 19:02:04 +0000

A March 4 article in the Washington Post reports that married couples with children now occupy less than one if four American households - the lowest ever recorded by the US Census.

Hello 20 Wins and Hello Top 25

Geoff J — Mon, 19 Feb 2007 21:56:46 +0000

The BYU Men’s Basketball team won its 20th game last week and this week finds itself firmly in the top 25 in both the AP (#21) and Coaches (#22) polls. Wow. I thought I was being overly optimistic when I predicted 22 wins in the regular season this year. With four games left that doesn’t seem like a stretch at all anymore. (more…)
