My artist brother Gordon helped me update my logo and avatar so it has a much more pleasing, stylized look for use online. The original tattoo can be seen in a previous post about how this particular icon, which I call “somos uno”, came into being. As much as I love the tattoo on…
It’s been a rough weekend for blogging. My blog hosting service, ixwebhosting.com, moved my blog to an upgraded server, which is a good thing. When this process is done it takes 48 to 72 hours to “propagate” across the web. This is not so good. What this means is that my blog has been…
YIKES! I think and hope that I may have just redirected my blog from wordpress.com to my own domain. If successful, this move will not affect any regular readers, but you should note the new URL, update your browsers’ favorites, bookmarks, or whatever you call them. Secondly, hit one of the “subscribe” buttons in…
I started this blog one year ago today. What a difference a year can make. After several years of self-imposed isolation–mostly due to the effects caused by being over-drugged by allopathic doctors–I started re-emerging as a participant in the world around me. Blogging was a part of that. I started blogging mostly for myself,…
I just posted a new video on youtube, discussing the LOTTI study I blogged about yesterday. Video is a new medium for me and I had such a positive response from my first video that I hope it helps get this message of hope out to more people. This second video has far higher…
I’ve been negligent about blogging for several weeks. I also became disillusioned with Open Salon and deleted all my posts there, which is a shame because I had developed something of an audience. I just didn’t feel comfortable with the direction the site was headed. Their decision to place advertising on my blog that…
An interview on Open Salon Besides this blog, I am a member of and contributor to Open Salon, another unique blogging/social networking site. While many of my posts are cross-posted, both sites also host unique offerings from me. This morning’s post is an interview conducted by another OS member, cartouche. If you want to…
WordPress provides bloggers with a tool that reports the search terms that result in a link to this blog. Needless to say, as a relatively new blogger I don’t get much traffic here. About once a week or so, however, I notice someone is finding this site by searching for something like “survive AIDS”….
Welcome to my blog. I have had a blog for more than a year, but never posted after the first entry. Maybe it was due to poor health and lack of energy and motivation, but I was also trying to be super-geeky and host it at my own domain. Hopefully, hosting here at WordPress will simplify the process so I can focus on writing, rather than FTPing and troubleshooting upgrades.
I will soon be posting a critique of the recent Ideas for change in America project at change.org, but didn’t want that to be my very first post here.
This site is no longer updated, but kept online for reference. You should not see this popup notice on future visits.
While much of the information on this site is no longer current, it represents almost a decade of my life. It was a period of considerable reflection and writing was my therapy.
I have moved on from that era and am now moving into what will undoubtedly be the last chapter of my life. My love for writing and telling stories-mine, as well as those of others-goes with me. Join me, if you will, at jondbarnett.com for the adventure.
