Venturing out...

After much reading and commenting in the Bloggernacle, I decided it was time to create my own blog. Online, I go by Grasshopper, but in the “real world”, I am Christopher Bradford. I was given the nickname “Grasshopper” at summer camp when I was about 12 years old, and decided to use it as my online handle when I began posting at Beliefnet in early 2000. I hope this blog will be a fruitful way to reason on various aspects of Mormonism. (I'll be playing with the formatting somewhat over the next little while until I'm satisfied with how things look...)

  3. Bravo, Grasshopper. I think your weblog has a nice look right now-earth tones, colors match, classy look.

    You'll find that life is different when you have a blog. Every book you read, every article you come across, every talk you hear becomes a potential topic. You'll find yourself thinking "I think I can blog on this" about five times a day. Life becomes a search for content. Every comment is a gem.

  4. Hey Grasshopper, welcome to the world of having your own blog. As Dave says, it makes life a little different, somehow. But I'm excited to have a place to come and hear your own original postings; I always love your comments elsewhere.

  5. Thanks for the welcome, Dave and Logan. I think this will be a little different for me, but to some degree, I already approach things in this way. I've been an avid discussion board participant (and topic starter) for several years now, so I frequently find myself wanting to share something I've found or an idea that pops into my head. I'm looking forward to seeing how different a blog is...

  6. Congratulations and welcome to the, ahem, Bloggernacle. As David says, it does change how you view things, I usually let a subject or an article torture me until I give up and decide to wait for something else another day.

    I think the look is great too. Inspiration to make mine a little nicer yet remain simple.

    I'm looking forward to coming back.

  7. Welcome to the Bloggernacle, grashoppoer. I must agree with the first Dave; however, it won't take long before you run out of things to say too.

  8. Don't worry, if you run out of things to say, just BADH (beat a dead horse). There are certain topics that seem to never die with Mormons...*cough* homosexuality/abortion *cough*.

  9. Well, I'm sure I'll address those topics at some point, but I'll try not to do it just because there's nothing else to talk about.
