September Update #2

Posted by Adam Kellogg On September - 25 - 2009 ADD COMMENTS

I have made a few more changes to the site, as you may see. I have removed all the Ad space simple due to the fact it is not selling and looks bad with all the “Your Ad Here” spots on the site. I might re activate the ad space if we get our visitors up to a respectable number. I don’t see that happening until I get off my ass and work on getting the comic up and running the way I have been talking about for six months now.

I also added the ability to make some posts and pages only available to registered members or other groups that I make on this site, such as family only sections. I have not made any sections like this, but I now can. I thought about adding the LockPress plug-in to make pay-per-view content, but I will hold back on that until we have a larger reader base also.

I have finally come to a solid choice on the comic concept and will be working on getting something here… some day… not soon with how I have been working on it. I have largely cut down on my political banter and ranting. You really don’t know how hard it is not to rant about what is going on with our nation, but I have held my tongue for the most part.

I have also been neglecting my promise to make more Christian and church style posts. I am sorry for this, but I have had a lot going on over the past few weeks that has cut into that. I have added a plug-in that will automatically link biblical references to a web bible, so that when I do start posting more the links will be there for you.

I will soon be sending out an invitation to all my family and friends that may not know about our site yet. I hope many of them will come and visit and register for the family forums and such. It might also bring some more authors into our folds so that you can read more than just my thoughts on things.

There is much more to come as I build up the site, I am looking at moving the site to a better server with more space so that I can add a photo gallery, but that is in the future, well after we get our viewer up and some sort of income from the site to support it.

Stay toned for more banter and ranting from me, ad the some-day-to-come comic here are www.kelloggskorner.com

Is Islam the American Reigion?

Our President has shown his true colors yet again. He has yet to find the “Right Church” since he has been elected. He has down played Christianity at every turn. He has praised Islam as a great religion that has improved the world (they bring death and destruction to all non-Muslims). He is doing to our country what Islam tells its followers to do. He is doing everything he can to destroy our nation from within, and also trying to convert it into a Muslim nation.

This British post which has defined Islam with many truths which are not told to who do not agree with Islam. I am tempted to read the Koran and contrast what I read to the Bible. In fact, I will do just that. I am going to start a study on Islam from a Christian point of view. I know this has been done by others, but I want to do it for myself.

We, as Americans and Christians, need to look at what is happening to our country, and our religion. We need to step back and look at the values of the religion that is now being pushed at us. We also need to look at why our nation was founded. We were founded on the belief that all men should be allowed to practice their religion as they please, and the government should not control or dictate that religion. Islam is a religion founded on intolerance of other religions. In the Islamic beliefs all non-believers are filth and less than human to any true Islamic believer. Islam is un-American in just that fact.

There have been, and still are, Christian Extremist groups. The numbers of Muslim-Islamic Extremist groups and the atrocities they openly take credit for far out number those by Christian groups. Islamic Extremist send there followers knowingly to their deaths, Christianity only tells those to me ready to die for your faith, not to go out and kill yourself for it.

Here in America, we have fought for equal rights for all people, regardless of faith, race or gender. Islam subjugates women and those of non-Islamic faith. If you are not a man or Muslim you are to be treated as objects not people. I will be reading the Koran to verify this for myself, altos I have read such things in many other places. This subjugation is un-Christian and Un-American. The constitution will not allow for this Islamic Law to be used in America.

For America to fully embrace Islam we would have to undo hundreds of years of progress in equality. Slavery is viable in Islam, we as Americans fought against this. All men are equal in our country. I do understand that there is Racism in people, there always will be. It is human nature to reject things that are different. In American Law there is no counting for religion, gender or faith. In Islamic Law all these are factors.

We Americans can not, in any way, accept Islam as the majority faith of our nation. Islam itself is Anti-American. Look at what our nation’s leader is trying to do to. He is pushing his agendas, fast, and hard, because he knows that with time people will see hidden agenda behind his actions. If it is not Obama himself with the anti-American agenda, it is those who are pulling his strings have.

Site Upgrade and Update

Posted by Adam Kellogg On September - 1 - 2009 4 COMMENTS

I am sorry about all the twitter posts on Monday. I was working on redesigning the site to be more readable after upgrading to Comicpress 2.8. There are a lot more built in features to customizing the look of the site. I feel the site has an improved look and feel, even though all the information and blocks are in the same location.

With the slightly modified layout I moved the Banner Ads to a more pleasing location which better uses the space on the site. I also added a new group of Ad buttons at the top of the page. The two main ads will only display on the comic pages now, while the button ads will display on every page. All ads still start at $0.01 bidding through Project Wonderful.

I reorganized the Comics into two new groups which can be seen individually through the story line link in the menu below Comics. When I start posting comics by us they will appear as separate story lines under the same location. I am sorry for postponing the comic’s start for so long, we just have so much going on right now, with looking into a move soon and Teresa and the girls relocating up here this summer.

Under the Forums, I have added new topics, Family Focus and Bible Focus. I am hoping that these two new areas will be of great use when our traffic starts to really pick up. I have a feeling that will not be until after I do the official start of the comic.

I will also be trying to change gears in my blog posts. I want to work away form my political rants into a much more useful Bible study and family type post habit. I need to work on my relationship with God, and feel that my studies may help you, and your comments on them may help me.

I am also working on starting a genealogy site for my family. This new site, located at http://pgv.kelloggskorner.com, will only be accessible by registered family members. If you are a family member you must submit an application for an account which will be verified by a site admin or myself. I want to put together all the documentation I can to validate any genealogy data we list on that site. This will be a great resource for our family for generations to come if we can make it accurate and keep it running.

So that is all I have n the site upgrade and update for now. I will be working on my new posts and hopefully comic in the near future. I hope to see you all, and more, then.
