For ages now I’ve had a section in the sidebar of single-post pages that lists some other (possibly) related posts. The problem is with the ‘possibly’ — the suggestions just haven’t been very good. I’ve been using Related Posts (2.02) by Alexander Malov & Mike Lu. It takes the words from the title of the current post and …

Empires of the Middle East
If you like animated maps of great swathes of history take a look at what’s been going on in the Middle East for the last 5000 years.
A Word of Caution When Changing Domains
In my recent move I transferred the contents of this blog by using the WordPress XML Import/Export plugin developed by Aaron Brazell (from code by Matt Mullenweg that is being developed for WP 2.1). It basically did the trick as you can see from this working blog however there is a snag. Although it produces a working …
Moving Your Blog: A WordPress Plugin to Permanently Redirect Your Posts
If you ever have cause to move a WordPress blog from one domain to another you will want visitors to any pages on the old site to be silently redirected to the corresponding page on the new site. This goes particularly for Googlebot and other search engine spiders: you want them to be able to …

A Few Blips
Well the plugin I put together to handle redirection from the old site to the new was working great until I thought “let’s tidy it up and make it presentable”. So I had to spend a couiple of hours messing everything up. I hope normal service has now been resumed! If it has I’ll post …
Testing, testing, testing…
Well this is my old blog in a new location. If you visit the old location you should automatically be sent here … at least for a month or so until I close the old one down. Please update your bookmarks if you have any. This post is also a test to see what happens …
Wednesday Week 23 Year II
Readings: 1 Cor 7:25-31; Lk 6:20-26 Setting his misogyny aside, I do love Paul’s urgency and absolute conviction that everything has changed. Everything is different after the death and resurrection of Jesus, with a difference that has diverted human—and even cosmic history—in a new direction. And in that new direction all the old rules cease …
Changing Address
Until now this blog has been living at http://rmarsh.com/ but with a web redirect from my ‘real’ domain http://rmarsh.com/. Unfortunately I’ve been having problems with my domain registrar’s email forwarding and have decided to make a move. This is where the trouble begins! My blog will continue to be accessible from http://rmarsh.com/ but will shortly cease …
Sunday Week 23 Year B
Readings: Isaiah 35:4-7; James 2:1-5; Mark 7:31-37 It seems likely that that word ephphatha, be opened, was the first thing that man ever heard. That he came to hearing with that as his first word. Wouldn’t it echo in his opened ears for the rest of his life? Wouldn’t that be the word he cherished …
Wednesday Week 22 Year II
Readings: 1 Cor 3:1-9; Luke 4:38-44 What would it take for us to be weaned? For us to be beyond the milk of spirituality—past the rusks and the stewed apple even—and eating the spiritual food of adults? Paul is pretty clear that the first thing to go would have to be the jealousy and wrangling …
