A Few Content and Format Tweaks

I’ve made a few changes to this blog that I hope you’ll find useful.

First, I’ve added my Twitter feed to the sidebar on every page, providing you with the opportunity to read the news and opinion pieces I regularly post on Twitter, even if you don’t follow me there – and even if you don’t have a Twitter account!

Second, with this access to my Twitter feed installed, I’m discontinuing the series of blog posts that I initiated in September of 2020, first under the title of “Current Comment” and later as “Selections”. This series was intended to bring to your attention current news and opinion pieces that I had found informative and enlightening. But unfortunately, the time-consuming process of collecting such items and then writing the commentary to introduce them resulted in many of them appearing too late, and some of them not appearing at all. I hope the new real-time Twitter feed will serve to correct these flaws.

Third and last, all new posts (starting with this one) will appear in shortened form, with only the first four or five lines showing on the home page. Clicking the “continue reading” button will then take you to the full post. The shortened form will allow you to easily scroll down the home page to review the most recent previous posts, in case you missed, or should wish to re-read, any of them.

As always, stay well …
