A couple of changes to the blog
As my dedicated readers of my blog might have noticed, I’ve changed the background theme. I’ve lost a customized header but gained more room for pages, three columns that actually work the way they’re supposed to, and greater paragraph definition, making it easier to read. RSS and e-mail readers won’t notice the changes, of course.
Earlier today, I had a brainstorm. I was trying to figure out a posting schedule so my blog posts wouldn’t seem so random. I’ve come up with a very tentative schedule. As guest bloggers get assigned or I come across information that I feel needs to be posted right away, the schedule will be adapted to accommodate it. Here is the tentative schedule:
- Sunday - Inspiring stories of those living with demyelinating diseases or their loved ones.
- Monday - Living with CIDP: Experiences and thoughts of my personal journey with a demyelinating disease.
- Tuesday - Information on Western based medical treatments.
- Wednesday - Information on symptoms
- Thursday - Information on Alternative based medical treatments
- Friday - Research
- Saturday - Information on support groups, both online and off, for patients and caregivers. Reader support will also be given as needed through responding to questions or just giving emotional support. Readers can seek support through leaving comments or e-mailing me.
Another change is I have decided to highlight a different demyelinating disease each month. The first week of the month will be dedicated to getting information out about the highlighted disease. The topics discussed will be:
- Demyelinating Disease - Done much in the way of my “A little bit about CIDP ” post. It will provide basic information on the disease and provide links to where additional information can be found, if available.
- Charity Spotlight - A “review” of a charity that focuses on the demyelinating disease being spotlit for the month. This will be handled in the same way as my “Charity Spotlight: GBS-CIDP Foundation International ” post.
- Blog Review - A review of a blog about the demyelinating disease. The blog will also receive a permanent link in my blogroll.
As often as possible during the month, the weekly inspiring stories, information on treatments, symptoms, research, and support posts will be tailored in accordance with the demyelinating disease being highlighted.
So, now I put it to you, my wonderful readers: What do you think? Is this a good idea? Do you love it or do you hate it? Do you have a better one? Leave me a comment or e-mail to let me know! I’m always open to your feedback.

To David & Jan -
Thanks for leaving a comment and taking the time to give me your feedback! It’s greatly appreciated!!!
My goal is to get as many posts done at the beginning of the week as possible to make it easier for posting later in the week. Today.com has a nifty postdating feature I can use for that.
