FULL SPECTRUM CULTURE

Well, it’s that time again. Time to go through all the numbers that we’ve accumulated since about this time last year. As always, we start with the grand totals:

I’m pleased to report that all interaction categories have at least one post in each of them, as of last February.

Sadly, I haven’t gotten around to putting the divine, demonic, or generic interaction categories on the scoreboards, as last year’s efforts in that direction were terminally interrupted. I guess I’ll try again this year. Meanwhile, here are the top God categories so far:

1. God — 211 posts
2. God as Self — 160 posts
3. God Relating to Church — 155 posts
4. God Relating to Self — 126 posts

7. God Checking Creation — 101 posts
8. God Checking Neighbor — 66 posts
9. God as Creation — 64 posts
10. God as Family — 64 posts
11. God Relating to Neighbor — 54 posts
12. God Checking Self — 51 posts

…And here are the top interaction categories:

2. Invading — 146 posts
3. Self Defense — 85 posts

Around this time last year, There had been 3389 visitors to Seven Realms; today, the counter is at 4973. BlogAdSwap got hacked a few months ago, and has consequently been closed down. So I’m going to have to find another way to promote the site, preferably at no cost. I’m also toying with the idea of putting Adsense ads at the bottom of the page, but I’m not so sure about that.

Scripture

As of today, I have posted:

1461 out of 35527 verses posted. [4.11% comp.]
102 out of 1334 chapters posted. [7.64% comp.]
4 out of 66 books posted. [6.06% comp.]

Waiting in the wings are what I’ve categorized but not posted: 195 chapters & 11 books.

Historical Documents

New this year is the Historical Documents & References category. Thus far, I have one document completely posted — The Declaration of Independence — and two documents are in various stages of posting — The United States Constitution & Luther’s 95 Theses. The Historical category actually became the reason for an entire redesign of the site, so that Scripture, History, and Current events can be shown in parallel on most of the pages. The underlying structure is all in place, but there is a lot of busy work left to be done at this wriiting.

The development of the science fiction “front end” for the ideas of this site proceeds at a slow but steady pace. This idea has a lot of inertia: it is taking a lot of time to get moving, but once it is moving, I’d like to think that it will be hard to stop.

Finally, Sometime this year it would be pretty cool to start a forum on this site for those who wish to discuss the development of these ideas. My wife is a member of a Mother’s forum, and gets a lot of edification out of it. It would be nice to have a similar venue here. We’ll see what the Lord brings. Happy Leap day!
