I write articles on language for the popular DailyWritingTips blog owned by Daniel Scocco. As the name implies, DWT is for writers. Our focus there is on grammar, vocabulary, and writing technique.
My own site, AmericanEnglishDoctor is targeted to parents and older students. Its purpose is to provide help and encouragement to parents who want to monitor and supplement the work of children who attend public school. The content there is in the nature of grammar lessons, reading lists, book reviews, and information about public education. I also want it to be of use to new Americans learning English as a second language.
When writing for these two sites, I try very hard to remain objective and non-political. Sometimes, however, I burn to express an opinion that doesn’t quite fit.
For this reason I am beginning this new site. Here I will give myself permission to express my opinions on language and popular culture.
Right now I’m still trying to figure out how to use this new WordPress theme called Amerifecta. I like it, but the workings are not as transparent as with some other themes I have used. I would welcome any help anyone can offer. So far I haven’t found a site that offers detailed information about working with the double sidebar.
One thing I have accomplished–I’ve eliminated that wretched feature that puts superscriptions with the date!
