A Note To Our Readers

Hey folks.

As you’ve probably noticed, Tropophilia has gotten awfully lame in the past few weeks. Jarred and I have been posting in a trickle, not the steady stream of new material, insightful commentary, and played-out geek jokes you’ve come to expect from this site.

We started Tropophilia in January with the goal of deepening our own knowledge of change in its many forms, and sharing those explorations with anyone who cared to read. 200 posts (this is #200) and close to 7,500 visitors later…I’d say we’re off to a good start.

To be clear this isn’t a “goodbye, cruel world” post announcing that Tropophilia is shutting its virtual doors. To the contrary, we’re simply letting you know what to expect from now on. You see, Jarred and I started with a pace and set of expectations for ourselves that are unsustainable. And when we couldn’t meet our internal goal of two posts a day, we felt guilty. No more. Here’s our promise to you:

• Monday Links delivered every Monday morning…or soon thereafter
• At least two posts per week from Jarred, and two from me
• In addition to Monday Links and our four weekly posts, plenty of Satellite Challenges, Questioning Things posts, and Asides…hell, we might even resurrect the long-forgotten TROPOphy (and even re-name it?)
• Responses to every comment, as quickly as possible

We’re still actively seeking guest bloggers (info here), so please don’t hesitate to put an idea into writing.  We also hope to be announcing a new contributor or two soon…but we’ll hold off until that’s a sure thing.  In the meantime, we hope you continue to read and subscribe to the site.  This started out as a fun endeavor; Jarred and I are pretty confident that we can bring back the fun (and the funk) by scaling back just a tad.

Thanks so much for reading, commenting, linking, and caring.  On with the show.
