Real Inaugural Post

The move is now more or less complete.  I’ll be transferring some of the more substantial material over from the old blog in the form of pages in the coming days, and new posting will begin here as of now.  I’ll keep it to two or three posts per day, for the time being, until I get back into the habit of things, but with luck I’ll be able to develop a successful posting doctrine whereby a I can finally get back to writing about as quickly as I can think again.  This is not always prudent, naturally, but it’s certainly damned useful.

Anyway, my focus here will be much the same as at the old blog, though I’m trying to bring art, culture and religion into the foreground, with a pleasant smattering of esoterica to add variety.  There will be lots of media reviews and commentary; literary discussion will cover all manner of things, from the Alexiad of Anna Comnena to Beerbohm’s Zuleika Dobson and much that lies between.

I should also add that I value comments, whether in slavish agreement with my ideas or standing thereagainst in furious opposition.  Qualitative comments about layout, format and whatnot will also be appreciated at this early juncture, as there will no doubt be a number of kinks to be worked out before this blog is up to the sort of snuff I’d expect of it.

Tell your friends.
