Amazin’. My computer goes to kids’ game sites and news sites and I get loaded up with spyware. I stupidly click on something that was obviously bad stuff, and get none.

I guess if you’re not smart enough to spell the names of your perversions properly, you’re too dumb to add spyware to your site….

Well, I couldn’t find anything, but folks, post 25 contains a link to what might be porn. I say ‘might’ only because it is so very sub-literate….

(off to run adaware and norton)

Don’t go there!

Good grief. (Looks around for some kind of way to notify the site admin about post 25)

Perhaps blogging isn’t ineffectual anymore? Maybe bloggin will lead to GAs reading the Bloggernacle & then writing their talks?

to wit: from the discussion at the HLS site, there is a link to the following [short cite included]:

We Know More Than Our Pastors: Why Bloggers Are the Vanguard of the Participatory Church
By Tim Bednar

This paper explores how Christians are using blogging for spiritual formation and how they are redefining the scope of Martin Luther’s “the priesthood of the believer”. Throughout the paper, I will defend my claim that “we know more than our pastors” and by the end of the paper, I will show why bloggers are the vanguard of what I am calling the “participatory church”.

Having held out for “Mo-Blog” as an alternative term, I confess I’m disappointed. It will be some time before I can bring myself to use the term Bloggernacle, which always triggers the phrase “the blogging community built without nails” in my mind.

I will at least insist that all media articles use the full name “Mormon Blogosphere” before employing the informal term “Bloggernacle.”

Dave, if we’re going to be that official when it comes to the title then we may as well call it “The Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Blogosphere”

Oh and yes, this is my first post here since the ‘excommunication’ hullaboo.

I hate to toot my own horn here, but I pointed out the existence of the Bloggernacle (before it was thus named) to Jeff Sharlett of The Revealer, who then wrote about it in his daily post – the post that drew Kaimi’s attention to Mormon bloggers’ namelessness. Sharlett later discussed the impact of religious blogging at the Bloggercon conference, which served as the inspiration for the post you linked above. Sorry for the shameful self-reference, but I didn’t want to be written out of this history so soon. ;)

Great work, Brayden. We must definitely trace the precise surfacing of this word while the history is still fresh. Future etymologists will be forever grateful.

Dave, I’m with you. Everyone already thought Mormons were the corniest people around, and then we go self-label ourselves bloggernaclites.
