Further Blog Layout Tweaks Underway

Hello again, everyone! I would like to take care of an item of personal business. As I continue to monitor the latest Church and temple news, the process of my analysis of how to make this blog more profitable for me will result in ongoing test changes to the layout here.

I keep running into a problem where a probable fix presents itself as a good idea, only for me to find that it turns out to not pan out, which in turn leads to my having to do further tweaks. I appreciate your patience with me as that process continues. In the meantime, if any of you have any feedback for me in terms of your experience with what is working in regards to these test changes and what may not be, I'd appreciate hearing from you.

In the meantime, just a general reminder: For the next 6.5 weeks or so (until sometime around September 23-25), an open commenting period will be effective for this post in which I share my completely updated list of locations around the world which, in my opinion, are most likely to have a temple announced during the October 2018 General Conference. I would appreciate your feedback on that so that I can make any tweaks that might be needed before General Conference rolls around.

That does it for this post. Any and all comments are, as always, welcome and appreciated. Thank you for the privilege of your time. If you enjoyed what you read here and would like to stay informed of newly-added content, please feel free to subscribe. Until my next post, I wish each one of you all the best and pray that the Lord will bless you all in everything you do.

Post a Comment

In addition to my life-long love for the subjects which I cover in the posts of this blog, I have long held the belief that we can disagree without becoming disagreeable. Differences of opinion are natural, while being disagreeable in expressing those differences is not. And in that sense, I have no desire to close the door on anyone who earnestly desires to contribute to the ongoing dialogue on subjects covered in the posts on this blog.

At the same time, however, I recognize that we live in a time when incivility, discourtesy, unkindness, and even cyber-bullying has regrettably become part of online interactions. With that in mind, while anyone who wishes can comment on anything if they choose to do so, I hereby reserve the right to immediately delete any comments which are critical, unkind, lack civility, or promote prodcuts, services, and values contrary to either the Church, or to the rules of online etiquette.

I'd also like to remind all who comment here that I try to respond personally to each individual comment as I feel is appropriate. Such replies are not meant to end the conversation, but to acknowledge earnest feedback as it is submitted.

And in order to better preserve the spirit and pure intentions for which this blog was established, I also hereby request that anyone not commenting with a regular user name (particularly those whose comments appear under the "Unknown" or "Anonymous" monikers, give the rest of us a name to work with in addressing any replies. If such individuals do not wish to disclose their actual given names, a pseudonym or nickname would suffice.

Any comments made by individuals who opt to not give a name by which they can ber identified may, depending on the substance and tone of such comments, be subject to deletion as well. I would respectfully ask that all of us do all we can to keep the dialogue positive, polite, and without malice or ill-will. May the Lord bless us all in our discussion of these important matters.
