0 - Hello World

The purpose of this blag is to provide for those who want more frequent updates, (despite a smaller amount of content) while keeping my main blag from overflowing. I decided this after, in a recent poll, an overwhelming 100% of voters who are not me wanted more posts more often.

My main motivation in creating this blag is to restart the flow of information and ideas either filtered through or generated by me that has slowed to a halt on the main blag.

I dislike empty, contentless posts that have many words but say nothing, so, in order to keep up a constant rate of one update per day, every post will consist of less than 400 words. If it is more than 400 words, or I decide it to be of enough quality, it goes on the main blag. Do not expect that to happen very often, at least until May 8, when my free time will skyrocket.

The main format of the posts will usually be a question followed by my response. Sometimes, it will be supported by a short essay. I may exclude the question on occasion, but the format will always be as follows:

Question
Opening thoughts/Vital information
Quote
Thesis
Support
Further Data

All elements are optional, but there will always be, at the absolute least, either a question or a thesis.

If you comment, feel free to tear me apart. Also feel free to propose a question; there is a very high probability that I will answer it.
