After over a month since my initial problems with my former blogging service provider and my switch to WordPress, things are finally back to where they should be. In fact, things are a lot better. The site is much improved over its former version and the categories should help greatly in finding information on the books of interest to you. All the posts that did not concern reviews of books or other media are being posted on my blog Labarum. That site still needs some work but it’s coming along nicely.
I have added three reviews in the last few days (below) and others should be forthcoming. Thanks again to everyone for their patience.
In Christ,
Albert

The basic look of the site is now set although I might do a bit more tweaking. I have imported all the posts from the old site relating to book reviews. I have decided to restrict this site to information on books and move my opinions on the Church and the world to another blog. That blog – titled Labarum is not quite set up but should be shortly.
I am about a quarter of the way through categorizing the posts and adding the amazon.com frames. Hopefully this will all be finished in a few days time and I can go back to reading.

Work on the new site is proceeding more slowly than planned. The new site should be ready within a week. I have settked on a basic look and imported the old posts from my Blogger site. Now it is a matter of putting back the Amazon.com frames and working on my links.Â
Until this site is completely up and running, you can still see the old site HERE
Thanks to all for your patience.
In Christ,
Albert
