Site Structure

At the end of June 2014, I looked over the CMG Blog Triad and determined it needed a bit more structure and focus.  To that end, I have developed categories for each of the three corners of the Triad.  While these may be adjusted or change over time, for now they seem to be helpful for me in my writing for the blogs and should make finding what interests the reader most easier.

A reader should note that much of what has been covered in the past on each particular blog will remain on that blog.  However, by tying categories to particular days of the week, it allows me to develop some themes more consistently and perhaps run a series or two on various topics.  I've left one day on each blog open for just about anything:  CMG's The Friday Grab Bag, GRYMVALD's The Tuesday Sundries, and The Sunday Miscellanea on MFWARS.  If I begin to see something appear on one of those days too regularly, I will probably expand one of the other days to include it.

While this might mean that some news doesn't get shared as immediately as on other websites, that has often been the case in any event.  But in addition to this restructuring, I plan to break my three-posts-a-day format and adding breaking news from time to time and locate it on the blog where it seems most at home.
