Getting more bloggy

We're officially living in Beaumont, Texas now. It'll still be a few days before the move wears off, and we start serious work.

For being a blog, this one isn't very "blogish" because its primary information is listed in the sidebar. So, to make it more "bloggy," we'll post some individual entries for recently added information and the main information will still go where it belongs (monthly calendars, blog links or other important links).

If nothing else, it should be easier to spot changes and keep this blog looking "frequent" rather than simply stuffing new information into older entries.

Additionally expect to see images of the events shot by Mark. Since most of these shots are actually going to be posted elsewhere, it wouldn't be much more trouble to post them here as well. They are primarily intended as preview images for the following year, but they can be seen as post-event images in the archive as well.

Feel free to comment on these plans if you have a moment.
