			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Welcome to the newly designed <em>World of Your Making</em> blog.  I&#8217;ve decided to leave the original version of this blog gently behind.  After five years with <a href="http://www.typepad.com/">TypePad</a>, I felt I needed a new challenge and the WordPress <a href="http://diythemes.com/thesis/about/">Thesis</a> design has opened new possibilities for me (as well as a steep learning curve).  I plan to incorporate some of my writing from the past into this new iteration of the blog, and in the near future, the old site which you can still find <a href="http://holycomforter.typepad.com">here</a>, will be parked for good.</p>
<div>
<p>Thesis offers a great deal more customization than Typepad.  I&#8217;ve enjoyed playing with the multi-media box and rotating images you see on the right column.  The navigation menu at the top of the page allows for quick access to separate pages of the blog and I&#8217;ve been exploring the myriad number of &#8220;<a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/">plug-ins</a>&#8221; and &#8220;<a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugins/WordPress_Widgets">widgets</a>&#8221; (sidebar accessories) that can extend the functionality of your blog to do almost anything you can imagine.  All very new to me.</p>
<p>The most recent posts I&#8217;ve imported from my previous blog recount the gathering of the <a href="http://www.compassrosesociety.org/">Compass Rose Society</a> at Canterbury Cathedral which you can see below.  In the days ahead I&#8217;ll be focusing on what I&#8217;m doing and learning in my parish ministry at <a href="http://www.holycomforter.com">Church of the Holy Comforter</a>, the Annual Council of the <a href="http://www.thediocese.net/">Diocese of Virginia</a>, and some new guitar work I&#8217;ve been doing over the last several months.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m glad you&#8217;ve found your way to the new site.  Leave a comment if you&#8217;d like.</p>
<p>Rick+</p></div>
