Spring/Summer Hiatus

Barroco Cervantes has been beset again with temporary Spring hiatus. We will be back hopefully in mid to late July 2008 with our Colossians Remixed book review. Check back soon!

Hiatus Returns

Barroco Cervantes will be on hiatus until February 1, 2008. Comments and guest submissions are welcome in the meantime. Just leave a comment to this post with your submission content, and I will look to add it. Finally, if you have a blog, feel free to add Barroco Cervantes to your blogroll to increase our readership!

Don't forget to check in daily for the daily scripture on the sidebar.

Brief October Hiatus

Barroco Cervantes will be taking a brief hiatus. We will return with all-new daily content on [Tuesday, October 16th]. We appreciate your patience and hope you will return! In the meantime, please feel free to leave your comments or suggestions.

A Quick Request of the Readership

One of the inevitable pitfalls of a start-up blog is a lack of readers--readership can take a long time to establish. I think one of the best ways to bring in readers is by amassing information for ease of reading. You'll notice that much of the right column of this site is full of the latest updated items on a multitude of other websites, including First Things, National Review Online, Time, CNN, Christianity Today, and others. Every time these sites update their content, they are automatically updated on this site as well. Those familiar with my site will note that I frequently post on these items.

I understand the difficulties of beginning the conversations on a passive website, especially when evangelism is involved. Yet I also believe that with time, such events can and do become more frequent.

I close with a humble request: if you do enjoy (at all[!]) visiting the site, I would encourage you to contribute to the conversations as well. From comments to contributing posts, feel free to contact me if you desire to add to the program. I never intended for this to be a one-person show--there is always room for contributing writers.

And of course, if you feel so inspired, feel free in promoting Barroco Cervantes to those you know. I believe that the more people who are able to enter the conversation, the more interesting the insights and discussions can become. And of course, that would make your reading time all the more valuable.

The blog has returned.

This blog has undergone some renovation and reworking. Gone are the days of the obscure and unclarified line rantings. In its place I hope will be somewhat frequent updates on my thoughts on various topics--under the patronage and influence of my Christian faith. Let me know what you think by leaving your (polite) comments and criticisms.
