Who Let the Dogs Out?
- Scott Hill writes for a brand-new group blog with a canine theme, called "Fide-O." (Is that pronounced like "Fido," or "FiDAY-oh"? Judging from the rottweiler photos, I'd guess it's the former.) Anyway, in his very first post, Scott is talking smack about "the ladies at the Boars Head." My advice to Scott and the rest of the pack at Fide-O: duck and cover.
- Steve Hays, one of my all-time favorite blogheroes, may not have the best-looking blog in the blogosphere, but it's always engrossing and fun to read. Sort of like watching an autopsy. Steve dissects the dissent of some of my commenters with his ordinary meticulous attention to detail.
- Keith Mikkelson Has a fascinating article about kimchi, well-illustrated with interesting graphics. That's the kind of blogging the PyroManiac likes to see.
- Daniel J. Phillips thinks Jan Crouch's hair may be the sign of the Beast.
- Troy Walling tests my vision with fine print. I pass.
- Jared Bridges compares me to a porcupine. I think of myself more as a hedgehog.
- PaulinTexas wishes the rest of my posts were as interesting as the Monday ones.
- Rich Gelina agrees that churches cannot live by opinion polls alone.
- Scott reminds us that demographics are a moving target.
- Kevin Johnson demonstrates his unrivalled skill for making a tedious argument for the wrong side of any issue.
- Nathan White has been reading while on vacation in Hilton Head.
- Brian Adams at "Christendom Blogosis" still thinks my posts have too much "filler." (Which I gather is a reference to the graphics, which he regards as a waste of bandwidth.) He still wishes I would use Haloscan or other blogware with trackback capability. He still doesn't always agree with me. But he did like my remarks about Fad-Driven® Churches.
- Michael Schweppe at "A Cognizant Discourse" posts a cartoon that makes a good point about "the blind pursuit of relevance."
- Jeri Massi doesn't really want to turn her blog into a running critique of mine, but she does it anyway.
- David Wayne at "Jollyblogger" perpetuates the "Books that Will Never Be Written" meme.
- Carla Rolfe is encouraged. You should be also.

I am still lobbying for a "Day in the Life of Phil Johnson"
Hey, Phil, little tweak to this template that I think makes it easier to read. If you change the widths in the following sections (header would be optional, leave it alone if you don't want to tweak the banner), you'll get more text per screenful and still fit on 800x600 with no problems.
/* Header */
#header { width:760px;
/* Content */
#content { width:780px;
#main { width:520px;
#sidebar { width:220px;
Cheers,
PGE
Hi Phil - My pulpit pictures are now back up.
Yep, I like Monday Menageries. The other posts you write are growing on me. Maybe you can write on why the Green Bay Packers is God's team for a Monday Menagerie? There has been written several books on the subject.
Peter:
I'll give it a try first chance I get. However, I have to say, I prefer a narrow text column. It's much easier to read.
In fact, it's fair to say that the thing I hate most about reading anything on line is the ridiculous wideness of the typical text-column—sometimes requiring four or more eye-movements per line. It's nearly impossible to track, and it breaks one of the cardinal rules of publishing.
Your blog looks great, but I hate the format of blogs with wall-to-wall text. My blogdesign might be an over-reaction against that trend.
Scott is talking smack about "the ladies at the Boars Head."
Hey! Scott's stealing my shtick!
(Speaking of stealing: Phil, I used a bit on Spurgeon and cigars from your Spurgeon Archive for a post at Shizuka Blog. Just thought I'd let you know . . .)
The awesomeness about a narrow template is that you can just write a little bit and it looks like you generated pages worth of content. ;)
I wrote the following on Kevin Johnson's blog... we'll see if it gets past moderation :P
"Your indictment of Phil Johnson would have teeth except for the fact that he and his tradition share what neither of the others named (pre-Reformation Roman Catholicism and modern ‘evangelicalism’) have any claim to: sola Scriptura, solus Christus, sola Gratia, sola Fide…"
