Retooling in Progress

After reading the “How to Start a Blog” series at Evangelical Outpost, I’ve been thinking that I need to make some changes.
In the “Notes on Blogging #5: What’s the point? — Defining “success” in the Blogosphere” section, Joe links to a good article by Bill Wallo on the definition of success, in which he states:

Another game of Chess

My son played another game of chess today… this time with his Grandpa, who has previously beat him soundly.
