If you haven't been paying attention over the last few days, there have been some interesting comments left about some of my recent posts.  Take a look at Your husband is fish bait, Pets are good for your health (duh!), and Perhaps to see what's being discussed.

I mention this only because using the comments function allows you to provide direct feedback to what you read here — and it becomes part of the post.  That's the fun of interactive web design!

Although the majority of you communicate with me via email, I offer the comments system in order to make these discussions public.  It ensures that my voice isn't the only one that's heard and that different points of view are not squelched (I'm no censor, but it's not easy for me to post feedback like that without having to constantly go back and edit past entries).  Although this site is about me, discussions like this engage me on a level not possible with the normal "I post and you read" methodology.

On that note, I will be enabling the user engine on the site in the near future.  You may remember that I disabled it about a year ago.  I'm now trying to make the site more interactive, so using the user engine will help me do that.  It'll allow you to post comments using your own name, send and receive private messages, access secure content (things I hide from the general public), and utilize advanced site features.  Expect to hear more about this in the coming week as I finalize and implement this change.
