Re: [asa] Youth leaving churches because of old earth

Dave,
Awesome blog!

I had a blogspot: teleologist at blogspot.com, but someone wanted to steal
it.
They tried again and again to change the password - I got all the emails
every time they tried.

Eventually, when blogspot sold to google, they managed to claim the site,
and I lost all the posts.
It was at a time when i was changing email addresses and google wasnt able
to contact me so they gave the site away because I was neglecting it.

So, I wont blog on a free site anymore because legally I dont own the
space. It isnt worth the effort. Wordpress seems a nice tool. But I have
moved on to wiki's and use the same wiki technology as wikipedia uses.
The markup is the same. And I own the server
so nobody will ever take it away, and I can do backups, etc.

Wiki's are, or can be, more structured than blogs, and can be hypertexted
(hyperlinked) infinitely to related articles. I am open to adding
multiple authors if anyone (such as a historian or physicist) wants some
wiki space. Wikipedians start with their own home page.
The site authorship is *not* open to the general public though.

Also, each page can individual copyright policy. There are many copyright
licenses available.

The thing for interested ASA members to do to get wiki access is friend me
on facebook or linkedin.

-Dave
