Four Years

On April 21, 2004, I wrote my first posts at Dreams Into Lightning. Two years ago, I began posting on TypePad but continued to cross-post at the Blogger site.

A lot has changed over the last four years but I have no intention of quitting blogging any time soon. In the interests of efficiency, I am going to discontinue cross-posting on Blogger; from now on DiL - Blogger will carry summaries and links to posts here at DiL - TypePad. So this is where it's at, baby.

Also in the interests of streamlining, I'm going to change the date format on Morning Report to ISO date format (YYYY-MM-DD), which will make the typing a lot easier for me.

Last weekend I disabled several of my more daunting comment-screening features and so far I have not been overrun by trolls, so I am going to leave the setup as it is for the time being. You do not have to register, pass a Turing test, or wait for my approval to post a comment. (Don't worry, if you're a troll I can still delete you.)

Finally, a big thank-you to all readers. I typically average around 50 to 100 visits a day - that's small potatoes compared to big guys like my friend Michael Totten, but I do check my stats daily and I appreciate every hit. Thanks for stopping by, and please come back soon.
