On his blog, Father Roderick shares ten pieces of advice that he took with him from the Blogworld & New Media Expo, last week in New York. They are good pointers for any bloggers, not least Catholic bloggers, who certainly have things to say. Head over there to read the list and spike the podcasting priest’s stats.

On my blog, I am trying to put numbers 2, 4 and 7* in practice, and I’ve begun to think about number 9 too. That’s only four out of the ten points, which shows, at the very least, that a blogger is never done improving him- or herself.

About this blog

I am a Dutch Catholic from the north of the Netherlands. Via this blog I hope to share news items and thoughts about the Catholic Church in the Netherlands and across the world, from the perspective of an interested layman without any pretense of knowledge or authority. Any thoughts and ideas published here are therefore strictly my own.

Other topics will also appear here, as my interests dictate.

Regarding comments: I welcome debate, but insist on good behaviour. That means that name-calling, personal attacks or clearly unfounded sloganeering will result on deletion of the comment. As Mark Shea says: Conduct yourself as you would in my living room and you'll generally be just fine.

For a personal account about my reasons for becoming and remaining Catholic, go read my story: Why am I Catholic?

But, since time is money, as they say, I am most certainly open to donations from readers who enjoy my writings or who agree with me that it communicating the faith and the news that directly affects us as Catholics, is a good thing.
