Blogging
I think what I enjoy is way in which you gradually develop a sort of parallel/virtual universe – disconnected in space and time – and invite other people to step inside it.On the more serious side, you need to be very cautious about people and situations.

more advice
Sorry for the late contribution here, but I could not appreciate blog culture until I realized the following, which I think every blogger should heed.

That’s all I’ve got.

What theologian are you?
You scored as Paul Tillich. Paul Tillich sought to express Christian truth in an existentialist way. Our primary problem is alienation from the ground of our being, so that our life is meaningless.
