Some of you might already know that I have a “new” micro-blog at Posterous. So, okay, you might say, “Dude, you don’t even have time to update the blog here and you’re micro-blogging?!” I’ll readily confess that I have been slack updating this blog because of the hectic schedule last week, but I hope to justify why I am adding my Posterous micro-blog to my, uh, repertoire(?).
1. While I don’t have much time to blog full-length articles (at the moment), I still read. A LOT. Every so often, I am encouraged and edified by the great articles written by other Reformed bloggers and that’s when I love to share them with my network. Enter Posterous: it allows me to quickly and easily share these great articles.
2. I’d like to keep this blog only for original articles, i.e. what I pen, and not simply regurgitating or re-posting what others have written.
3. Posterous allows me to post short articles, videos, MP3s, quotes, etc., leaving this blog for what I mentioned in point #2 above.
4. The Posterous micro-blog leaves me some liberty to post on other topics that I won’t include on Reformed Wretch, e.g. technology, a little bit of humor, life in Singapore, the occasional interesting photograph or illustration, social media, etc.
As a result, categories and features like Quotes and Five Stalks of Tulips will be moved to my Posterous micro-blog with immediate effect.
It looks like my schedule will remain rather tight in the foreseeable future — I apologize that posts on Reformed Wretch might be far and few in between for a while, so if all that I’ve outlined for the micro-blog at Posterous sounds rather interesting, do consider visiting http://isaiahc.com and subscribing to the RSS feed. Oh, and leave me a comment there if you like.

I must admit, I do not understand this trend. Why not micro-blog on the main blog? WordPress and Blogger support both long and short entries…
I do agree with your point on WordPress being a great platform for both, brother, but Posterous allows me some conveniences that the former doesn’t. For one, Posterous allows me to easily post articles to it via email, and it’s easy for me to share directly from Google Reader with the new “Send to” feature they provide.
The most important reason, though, is that I’ll really like to keep this blog for original content that I write. I guess I like to put things in boxes, so to speak, when organizing content.
No problem Isaiah! I’ll track you here and there though RSS and Twitter. God bless you my brother!
Using this blog for your thoughts is good.
That’s what I want to read – not postings of others thoughts.
Of the making of many ‘thoughts’ there is no end…..
I’d prefer to hear you speak.
@Jorge:
Thank you, brother. God bless you too!
@Adullamite:
Thank you for the encouragement, brother. I’ll endeavor to do just that — let you hear me “speak”.
Hmmm… You’ve given me an idea on what to do with my Posterous. Thanks for your advice re: Rome’s minions. It was the ugliest conversation I’ve ever had with an unbeliever.
I find it disturbing, to say the least, that some Calvinist pastors (like John Macarthur) are asking change agents to enter their church ministries. Check out the evidence here: http://www.thewatchmanwakes.com
