Trying out a new theme 6 May 201415 May 2014 The old one was so 1992. Comments? I think it is easier to read onscreen. OK, I reverted. It lost all my widgets. OK, I bought the commercial version. Thanks to all who donate to my blog, because I can afford to do this. Let me know if you encounter any troubles. Philosophy
Accommodationism Accommodating Science overview 13 Mar 2014 I have done quite a lot of blogging under this heading lately so I thought it might be useful to get all the posts used in order: On beliefs Why do believers believe silly things? The function of denialism Why do believers believe THOSE silly things? The “developmental hypothesis” of… Read More
Evolution Is Physicalism coherent? 11 Oct 201411 Oct 2014 In my last post I argued that physicalism cannot be rejected simply because people assert there are nonphysical objects which are beyond specification. Some are, however, specifiable, and one commentator has identified the obvious ones: abstract objects like the rules of chess or numbers. I have dealt with these before… Read More
Book Intelligent Design and Religion as a Natural Phenomenon 22 Jun 2010 My next book [I just love the sound of that] has been published. Here’s a flyer. It’s an anthology of papers on the title topics, with an introduction by yours truly… it’s cheaper if you buy it directly from the publisher from here. Many thanks to Neil Levy, series editor… Read More
Nice font, nice colors, nice sliding menu system. My only criticism is minor, and it relates to the left sidebar. It is very long, and requires a great deal of scrolling to find the bottom. This is great on long posts, but on short posts such as this one I find the blog to be “unbalanced.” artistically. It feels like it will tip over to the right. It there a way to widen the centre column in this them? Are you able to collapse items on the sidebar? Content, is of course, as excellent as always.
When you say “on screen,” perhaps you mean on the screen of a mobile phone. On my desktop computer, the column bearing the blog post occupies only about half the width of the screen and, on a full-length post, is quite unpleasing to the eye. Also, it is now impossible to print out a post (but perhaps I am stuck in 1992 myself if I want to do that). Anyway, I turn my thumb down.
It’s moot now (at the moment of writing), as you’ve reverted to the old type face, which I find much more readable, but I was using Windows 7 and Mozilla Seamonkey. Another reason why the present arrangement seems to me much preferable to the one that you had at the time of my previous comment is that this one allows one to print out entries. (I was going to mention that yesterday, but I didn’t, since it may be that there are only about five people in the world that ever do such a thing anymore.)
I prefer the old theme, though I’m sure I’ll get used to the new one. The new theme has improved now that you have reduced the length of the left margin.
The text is smaller than I would like when reading on my iPad. A more ‘responsive’ theme would be nice, but I prefer this to the old theme. I note you appear to have turned off the facility that allowed people to flip through articles by swiping. I am very glad you’ve done this: I was forever flipping inadvertently.
