Good post, Karl. Your blog was one of the inspirations for me to get into blogging (see what you’ve unleashed on the cyber world!). Like Glen, I discovered early on that I didn’t neccesarily have to write anything earth-shakingly profound, just what’s on my mind and heart.

Todd, there is no need to save my blog posts in another medium. Since I host my own blog (and back it up regularly) it is saved (and resaved) and I’ll always view it online where it is searcable. My wife has suggested making the posts about Luke a book for him someday, and I might, but for now, that is more work than its worth – I’d rather put that time into new posts. But DO make sure your blog is backed up, it would be a tragedy to lose your blog – you have some GOOD STUFF on your blog.

I agree with your post Karl. When I first started blogging I tried to figure out what people in children’s ministry wanted to read. The result wasn’t pretty. When I started blogging about what I am personally passionate about, then it became a fruitful enterprise, if not always for others, at least generally for me.

Can I ask you what or how do you save your blog post? Have you ever turned them into a book? What creative ideas have you heard or done or thinking about to do with all blog post?

This is what I am personally struggling with and not sure which way or exactly what to do. I would love to hear your thoughts or anyone else’s.
