Well, Sir, I suspect you have no clear picture of the constraints. I
have the freedom to install such a thing, but it falls outside my
expertise. I remain rather dependent on my webmaster (Tim Butler) to
handle far more than I pay him to do, yet he is patient and kind.

It's been a long time since we posted our bios. Let me introduce myself
a bit. My calling in the Lord includes a lot of things, but I feel
neither inclination nor calling to become a webmaster. What one man
finds easy, another finds endlessly frustrating. You'll probably forget,
since there are many here, and you are part of many other lists, but I
consider myself useful in dealing with:

 - fonts
 - X configuration
 - installation and system config (only for user-friendly stuff)
 - common user experience (non-geek)
 - FreeBSD as desktop
 - writing for others how to do these things

I write about a whole lot things. I'm also useful for a few non-computer
tasks (such as being a superior woodsman with handtools), but that's not
the issue here. I'm also ordained to the ministry, but I just imagine
you are I are of quite different flavors. Just for the record, I was
once a Social Studies teacher, but I came to despise public education. I
am still regarded by professional historians as one of their number. I
refuse to debate, though I may answer a few questions. You probably
won't like my answers on many things, given your pronouncements. :-)

Thanks for your suggestion. No, I haven't tried any other blog tool
offered out there, and I will not. I would simply like to apply a
temporary fix to the one I now have until I get something truly better,
written by my own webmaster and our host, Tim Butler. It's called Safari.

No offense intended, but I have had my fill of political debates on this
list. Original commentary is wonderful, provided it's thinly scattered
and short. I prefer things designed provoke thought, not argument.
Regarding computing, we probably should argue about some things.
Biblical and faith issues are also on topic, and only when folks get
catty or personal would I consider calling for a halt.

This is far more than your comment called for, but I hope to save time
for you and others in the future.
