I added four new links to my More Mormon Weblogs list (look right, scroll down): Virtual Theology is the Wordpress successor to Technologic, a Blogger site. United Brethren consists of mostly brethren, with three guys and a gal listed as contributors. They put an asterisk in the blog title, which really bothers me for some reason, like one of those superfluous apostrophes that some writers throw in their prose from time to time. I did list them--no grammar prude am I--but I just had to drop the asterisk. The Peepstone has the good sense to me on its blogroll already. I will visit this blog regularly just so I don't miss the story of how Graham met Heather. Finally, Speak Up For Truth is making its voice heard. However, I didn't make PSC's list of gentle bloggers. Darn.
The asterix in United Brethren wasn't superfluous--it has a function, i.e. to point to the fine print which explains that women can also blog there.

Actually, the asterisk is part of a secret mind-control experiment.

John, I notice you defaulted to "Asterix," betraying a French connection. The reason I didn't retain the asterisk for my blogroll is that people would be scrolling down the list, looking for the explanation of the asterisk. I suppose quirky names are just part of geeky technoculture, even in the Bloggernacle, for example IntellecXhibitionist and Doctrinal:net. Personally, I lean toward functional and descriptive naming.

Hey, I do not consider myself qualified to advise the LDS blog readers as to which LDS blogs are worthwhile. I am new to this, and am just now reading what is out there. I will, fairly soon, post which LDS blogs I read. Since I am commenting on your blog, you can be pretty sure I actually read it! ;)
