I’ve been thinking for quite a while now (that is, for at least the last eight months or so), of discontinuing blogging here at Godblog. It’s just that the bulk of my blogging has always been at Retrophisch, and I’d like to concentrate my efforts there.
Four and a half years ago, I had this grand plan of blogging in five separate weblogs, each devoted to a certain space of my interests. It rapidly became apparent that this was never going to fly in the long run, and I eventually closed three of the other blogs. It would be a lot easier and make a lot more sense for me to concentrate on just one, and that one is going to be Retrophisch. In other words, what you’ve been reading here you’re now going to read there.
Which left the question of what to do with Godblog. I could simply archive it, as I did my original blog, retaining the domain name and simply not posting to it. But I thought godblog.com was too good of a domain to be left to such a fate. Yet I was concerned as to who might end up with the domain, were it to be allowed back in to the wilds of domain registration.
There were certain individuals/groups I knew would be interested in it, and get more mileage out of it than I have, and I would not mind seeing these persons use the domain to further the kingdom of God. Yes, I did say “further the kingdom of God”, because I look at the this as a mission opportunity of sorts.
Conversations regarding this matter this past weekend were enthusiastic, and we’re in the beginning phases of transferring the domain. This site as it stands now will be moved over to Retrophisch as a subdirectory and archived, with all active blogging on the subjects of God, Jesus, faith, and so on taking place at Retrophisch.
Future posts here on Godblog will be purely technical in nature, i.e., when the site is archived on Retrophisch, etc.
Thanks for having read Godblog for the past four and a half years, and I hope to see you over at Retrophisch.
