Confessional Lutheran theology, hagiography, philosophy, music, culture, sports, education,
and whatever else is on the fevered mind of Orycteropus Afer

In, Out, and on the Fence
Updates to the BBOV
Updating the blogroll — what a good excuse to learn at least a little HTML. But first, I hope that my fellow bloggers will read the following and take it to heart.
Here's a request (with which I heartily concur) from TK (of Be Strong in the Grace, Katie's Beer, et al.): "Thanks, Aardvark, for the blogroll updates! I was wondering if you could give a little peptalk to the ol' blogroll on the importance of having an RSS feed activated. Some of us depend on those feeds to keep ourselves reading good blogs! It is usually a simple matter of checking a box in the blog settings. Thanks!"
I'm not sure how one does this with all the different platforms and programs available. However, for Blogger, the process is as about as simple as TK states. From your dashboard, click the "Settings" button. Then click "Site Feed" and toggle "Publish Site Feed" to "Yes." Save settings, publish your blog, and you're good to go. This will not only help those using RSS readers but also keeps Technorati updated, gets you updated more quickly in the search engines, and generally aids people in finding and reading whate'er you've written.
And now, on to the Big Blogroll O' Vark®™©:
Aadditions
Robert Hunter's blogging alias is The Heresy Hunter. He specializes in finding and publishing much of the false teaching passing itself off as Christianity.
David Whalen writes on being Orthodox Lutheran — never easy and increasingly difficult in these times of colliding theological fundamentalism and relativism.
Schaaf's Kopf features the thoughts of LCMS Pastor K. R. Schaaf, a minister of the Gospel in the Carolinas.
Working Out My Salvation is the blog (and, we must assume, the goal) of Adam Roe, "a full time Air National Guardsman in Illinois."
A Christian scientist (not a Christian Scientist), Christopher Heren also finds time to write Mother Hubbard's Cupboard, a truly eclectic contribution to the Lutheran blogosphere.
Aalterations
Michael Scheurmann has moved: Note the new URL for Poor Michael's Almanac.
Lisa S. (aka "worthywoman") has quit posting at her LiveJournal blog JustWords, although it remains there for archival purposes. Please change your link to Blessed and Content — and Disabled.
Aannihilated
The following sites have been abandoned. Two were picked up by internet vultures while Saint Floyd left one post as a marker. If you know of their new whereabouts, please let me know:
Living Like a Lutheran
The Small Catechlysm
Yada Yada Yada
Aat a Crossroads
These people haven't posted for some time and are in danger of being voted off the island in a future update. If you're a reader who likes what they write, please visit their sites and poke 'em with a sharp stick. If you are one of these people, please come back, I miss you.
Lutheran Hymn Revival
Spirit and Life
Seward Snow Dog
Masks of God
All the Fulness
and (sadly) Bunnie Diehl
That concludes this episode of Updating with the Aardvark. If you'd like a list of the confessional Lutheran bloggers or all the links in my sidebar, please click for the Big Blogroll O' Vark®™© and tell me which list you'd prefer.
