UPDATE: It appears to be back online. I shall call this “The WordPress Cloaking Phenomenon.”
I run two blogs off of my account. This one, and smumcyouth.wordpress.com, which is my church’s youth “website.”
Though all the links and everything appear on the web and in readers, all links come back to this blog. Smumcyouth is gone!
Oh, WordPress, you have cut me to the quick! How will I communicate with my beloved youth and their parents as well as I did before!?!?
*tears rolling down face*
*sobs*
*navigates through stages of grief*
*ends in anger*
I shall smite the wall until WordPress support opens at 8:00–pacific time (11:00 my time). Oh, my bleeding soul…
Tech. wasn’t the key. April 29, 2008

Tecnhopastor has an interesting thought on technology for technology sake. It reminds me of one of my articles for the Young Adult Network.
I found myself frustrated in that there was far too much talk about the use of technology and thinking that the church had to jump on the technology bandwagon because “that’s what the kids are using.” What the leaders failed to recognize was that technology was simply a tool being used for a deeper purpose — facilitating community between like minded persons. Folks used blogs and IM’s as a communications medium not because they were inherently cool, but because they wanted to connect with others and these tools allowed them to do so in a cost effective way. The communicative function must always be the driver behind the use of technology, not the other ways around.
