Question For BlogExplosion Surfers (Updated)

New poll for November 12!

First off, allow me to extend my condolences that you did not receive any mystery credits on that last click. Instead you ended up here, for which I am profoundly apologetic.

But while we have a few seconds together (it seems unlikely this will be more than a 30-second visit), allow me to ask you a question.

[poll removed]

In a previous poll I asked how many of the sites that BlogExplosion users click through they actually read. Almost 200 people chimed in. Here are the results:

  • 2.8% admitted to reading none of them.
  • 45.6% said they read the occassional one.
  • 51.4% said they read almost every one.

Those seem like pretty good results for me. It means that the majority of people who come to a site through BlogExplosion are at least sticking around to read a bit of the content.

    In his letter to the church at Rome, the apostle Paul expresses his sorrow about some people who were zealously religious yet tragically misguided. “I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God,” he says, “but not according to knowledge” (Romans 10:2).

    To Be a Woman

    I sometimes wonder what future generations will make of the modern West here in the early decades of the 21st century. I sometimes wonder what they will think of us when they discover that one of the defining questions of our age is also one of the most straightforward: What is a woman? Yet an…
