Thanks for dropping by my new blog. My blogging journey began back in 2005, when I starting blogging under “Theoblogy,” using a free blogspot blog. (The word “blog” appears far too much in that sentence.) Then I migrated to Wordpress and used the domain TonyJ.net. All the posts from those two blogs have been imported here.
A year ago, I accepted an offer to blog at Beliefnet, and TonyJ.net was repurposed as a landing page for my professional life. While I think that Bnet did raise the exposure of my blogging, I was continually frustrated at how hamstrung I was on the technical side. Things in the blogosphere are changing rapidly, and Bnet, being owned by a big corporation (News Corp) just didn’t have the ability to move as quickly as I had hoped. Plus, I never reached their top echelon of bloggers, as far as numbers, so it didn’t make much sense for them to pour resources into my blog. They have said that I will be able to import my Bnet posts here, but it will take some time for that to happen.
So here I am, back at Wordpress, learning the incredible power of the Thesis theme. And blogging. I don’t know how it will evolve, but at this point, my goals are that posts here would be more personal, more often, less argumentative, and more hopeful.
I hope you’ll consider adding my blog to your blogroll, subscribing to the feed, and participating in the comments here.
Again, thanks for stopping by.

Thanks Tony for making the switch. I’m not a fan of BN anymore.
Congrats on the new blog – I’ll put it on my reader today.
Yay! No more BelieveNet software.
looking forward to what you have to say Tony.
thanks for your thought-proving ideas and progressive theological inquiries
CONGRATS, Tony, on making this leap of faith! i, like, Rob, am NOT a fan of Beliefnet. i hate the arguing spirit there and the clunkiness of their blog technology.
i REALLY look forward to your thoughts and am proud to add your blog to my reader!
ALL the best!

Looking forward to the change and more posts.
Excellent. I am among the masses who appreciate the switch. While I tried to keep up with my googlereader, sometimes you want to read the real thing. Anyway, looking forward to your future posts. Hope all is well, later friend.
Now praying for Scot to see the light
