In the next few weeks, if all goes according to plan, you will notice some changes around here at SHS. My site will be added to the First Things family of blogs, which should increase our already steadily growing traffic and may—I’m not sure about this—change our look. I believe the site will still be accessible at http://www.wesleyjsmith.com/, but there will also be a link for FT surfers to get to us. I will also post some of what I do here at the FT Blog, often in an abridged entry, as I have been for the last few weeks.
I am most pleased about this: The more of us talking and pondering human exceptionalism and the other issues we deal with here, the more people with which to interact, and I hope, the better your blog-perusing experience will be.
Stay tuned…
