I am backing up the 5,000 files of Ichabod. They are being exported into another blog.
Next I will redesign the template. The first page is starting to look like one of those churches suffering from 14 different remodeling projects. I also want to speed up the loading.
My old domain was up for renewal (gljackson.com) so I decided to go with Intuit's package, which sounded more reasonable, potentially more fun. I am not going to do web design in Dreamweaver unless I am getting paid or graduate school credit for it. I will try to tie together the social media, blogging, and Lulu. Simply creating a page on Facebook for Martin Chemnitz Press yielded a lot of visits for a beginner.
The new domain will be http:///www.martinchemnitzpress.com
The link is up and I will be working on it soon. The domain is for storing all the books and academic materials I use. Ich-addicts need not worry about withdrawal pains. Free downloads will still be at Lulu.com, too.

When I make a change to the Facebook page, the software sends a Tweet on Twitter to my Twitter followers. That also generates potential hits on Google.
I hope the new blog design will allow for re-Tweets of posts, as well as other social media methods. They are becoming essential now, so I might as well use them. Besides, I teach this in a course called Educational Technology. So far I have not been able to get the social media links to show up on each post. I may need to call in LI for advice. I realize that is like asking the New Jersey to serve as a tugboat.
