e-church.com links up to this quick test at Beliefnet.com, checking your knowledge of world poverty. I got four wrong. The fact I tended to over-estimate the problems is as unsettling as under-estimating them.
What I know or don’t know is far less relevant than this question: what am I doing about it?
Think and Link on World AIDS Day
In the news business we have the disease du jour or the disease of the week, or the disease of the month.
It’s an opportunity to educate people about medical issues they or their family may or may not have to face.
Tomorrow is world AIDS day. A blog burst has been called.

Prime Minister Jean Chretien’s older brother, Maurice Chretien died today. They were very close, so let’s knock off the moron comments in respect this weekend.
Microcontent News
Microcontent News has a report on
The Nieman Conference on Narrative Journalism. Sounds boring, doesn’t it? But, it’s quite facinating if you are interested in writing. Bottom line. Narrative and story telling works. I think Jesus knew that better than anyone.
IE Browsers don’t like this blog
If you’ve come to Bene Diction Blogs On through an IE browser, please be patient. (It is not one of my stronger virtues) I won’t pretend to understand how these things work, I get that sharp ‘ice-cream’ pain over my left eye gazing at sites like Bobby that picks up what is wrong in tech speak.
What I do know is that Rachel Cunliffe of cre8d-design has to go deep into the mumbo-jumbo that makes this blog work and code something to make IE look right.
Did that make any sense?
Er, the log is sort of temporarily broke. If you stopped by, I’d be tickled to see your John Hancock in the comments section so I can say a proper thank you!
Update: Log. Fixed. Cool.
Awww, leave a comment anyway. You want to, right?

I never thought Chretien was a moron. Bush — YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but Chretien — no.
Canadian political humour is very different from US humour. Canadian pundits have a field day with the PM. Comedians make a full time living at it. That said, the recent reaction to his former assistant’s comment is so far over the top south of our border, my friends and I are just shaking our heads.
LoL. Glad you popped by. I’m not saying a word about Bush. Blog on!
Sorry about your tech. difficulties - your blog is still looking splendid on my iMac. Hope the “fixes” don’t break it…
Bene… I’m using IE 6.0.26 and your site looks great!
Thank you gentlemen…every bit of feedback helps a heap. Blog on!
I am enjoying the “quacks” about the new look and the fact that the duck/duck/goose is neat. It’s a loon people, a red-eyed duck-like creature that dives and swims like a goose or a duck. It looks like a duck, but it doesn’t quack or honk. Loons call. Ask Fred, he’ll give you a complete run down on loons.

That’s better. Now I don’t have to read between the lines or whatever to work out what you are saying. Am using the latest IE but have been considering switching to another browser altogether or even some version of Linux instead of XP Pro. Will leave that to my techie sons.

That text thing was really annoying wasn’t it?
The side bar still isn’t right. I run two browsers, IE6 and Netscape 7 off OS XP pro.
It was fine from the get go in Netscape and Rachel showed me screen shots of all the other browers. It’s IE that isn’t co-operating.
I appreciate the feed back. Blog on!
