Some stuff (mostly for new readers)

I won’t have much time to write here today, even though I have some posts in my “to-do” list, but, meanwhile, since there are so many new readers here (because of Digg / Reddit / Shoutwire / StumbleUpon / etc.), just a few things I want to say. :)

While I’m guessing that most people who come from those social bookmarking sites are more technically inclined than the norm (seen, for instance, in the stats - there are almost twice as many Firefox users as there are Internet Exporer ones), still, as this is not a technical blog, and many people also come here from search engines, or through links in other blogs or sites, it’s possible that you don’t know about this “feeds” stuff.

Feeds are, quite simply, a way to “subscribe” to the site. Just click on this icon on the sidebar: (or on this very one, right here), and you’ll get some instructions on how it works. For an even easier tutorial, see here - it’s written by me, but don’t let that put you off. :)

Alternatively, if you don’t want to bother with feed readers, you can simply get new articles by email. You never get more than one email per day, even if there are more than one post. And the service is provided by FeedBlitz; I don’t even get to know your email address, so you don’t have to worry about your privacy.

If you already knew about all that stuff, I apologize. :)

Now, on a more personal note, today (August 25) is my last day of employment! Yes, starting from tomorrow, I’ll be working at home, as a freelance blogger and writer. Therefore, my other blogs will finally get some needed attention, and I may even start a couple of new ones. :) For some of my reasons for not wanting to have a “normal” job any more, see this brilliant post by Steve Pavlina, 10 Reasons You Should Never Get A Job. I, myself, will probably write about this subject in the future.

And now for something completely different! :) While it may currently seem otherwise, this blog is not just about atheism. I have been writing about it a lot, because my “16 myths” post was incredibly popular, and the hundreds of comments I received inspired me to address several other points about atheism, Christianity, and religion in general. But, while I’ll certainly write more about it in the future, there are also other subjects I want to write about, much like I did in the past; just click on any of the categories in the huge list on the right to see some of my past articles about other topics.

Finally, if you’re new here, welcome to Way of the Mind. I hope you enjoy your stay. :)

    Congrats on no longer working for the MAN.
    It’s something you’ve been working towards for awhile.

    That’s quite the accomplishment.

    Hey nice going dude. :D
    The points you try to make are brought forth very clearly, which is a big plus of your blog! And I’m an atheist too so expect me to come back often.. hah.
