A Little Steep

OK, I’m still loving MT and all, but let me tell you: The learning curve is a bit steep. But after reloading the site from scratch for the third time, I think I’m finally where I want to be for a while. The four posts previous to this one were manually cut-and-pasted back into MT, so they may differ ever so slightly from how they were first published. Their file names have also changed, unfortunately. Still on the to-do list is to restore the great comments I got on the AIDS posts after Build 1. Thank you for your patience!
You’re doing better than me – I’m still figuring out how to install the damn thing.
Way to go!
I’m bugging my husband so much abt this that he might just throw me out of the house!! j/k!
Must be tough for all the computer geeks out there who are married to clueless tech wives. *sigh*
Your site looks real nice now!
Thank you, thank you. The tech stuff is often more satisfying than working on content, that’s for sure.

Author and Professor Dr Jamillah Karim spent a year living in Kuala Lumpur. Read this great interview by Sister Brooke, and then visit Dr Jamillah's blog for a series of thoughtful reflections on what living in Malaysia was like for her as an African American Muslim, what insights she gained about the immigrant Muslim experience in America and more.
Granfalloon (n) : "A proud and meaningless association of human beings." A word coined by Kurt Vonnegut (1922-2007) in his book Cat's Cradle. I was recalling the concept recently for some reason but couldn't bring the term to mind. There it is: A granfalloon. The idea is illustrated in the book by a woman from Indiana who is just thrilled to meet Hoosiers everywhere she goes, a Hoosier being a name for people from the state of Indiana, but the shared qualities she recognizes in Hoosiers exists only in her own mind. Thanks, Kurt.
