A funny thing happened while writing today’s Sacred Heart Friday post

A funny thing happened while writing today’s Sacred Heart Friday post. I was writing this (brilliant) piece in my series of posts on the Alliance of the Two Hearts of Jesus and Mary and linking it to today’s feast day on the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Unfortunately, after reading it and thankfully before …

Content relevant ads now running!

Dear Readers: SoberCatholic.com is now running ads! Please disable your adblockers, because these are good ads! They’re relevant to this blog inasmuch as their content is Catholic, or Catholic-friendly. I have control over them, so if I see any I don’t like, I can do something about it.

Sober Catholic Blog Discussion Group on MeWe

As a companion to the Sober Catholic Page on Facebook, I am starting a similar thing on MeWe. MeWe is probably the largest and best known of the ‘alternative to Facebook’ social networks out there. I’ve been a member since early 2015 and am fairly active.   The Sober Catholic Blog Discussion Group is where readers …

Blog overhaul UPDATE! (new from yesterday’s post)

UPDATE: (new from yesterday’s post) Due to some massive new updates to WordPress that are appearing next week (see embedded video if you care), some changes will be delayed, such as the new theme and the subscription thingy. I’ve asked a question in a MeWe WordPress Group about the latter, (admin is the same guy …

Blog Overhaul (almost) done

The blog overhaul I mentioned earlier is mostly done. There are only two things left: figure out the subscription thingy and edit a page on St. Maximilian Kolbe and the Militia of the Immaculata.  The changes are across the top. See: They’re all those blocky things below the Sober Catholic: Catholicism, Recovery, Sobriety, etc. stuff …

Addiction and Mental Health Resources Page is up!

As a part of my overhaul of this blog, I’ve deleted many resources along the sidebars and moved them over to their own page; this would make it easier for readers using mobile devices to navigate around as well as for anyone to share it. You can access the page along to tabs across the …

And so I published something on Medium today!

Medium is a publishing platform where anyone with writing aspirations can sign up, write stuff and publish it where no one or maybe lots of someones will read it. You can also earn money. The trick to the latter is that you have to join their partnership program and for that, you need at least 100 followers. There’s a lot to …

ATTENTION Subscribers…

I am having issues with the new subscription thingy I installed the other day. I apparently have to manually add emails to the subscription list (I looked around and there was nothing in the settings to allow new subscribers to be automatically added.) I am trying a new option but I’m not how its is …

Subscribe option is back! And I may be looking into WordPress alternatives…

Someone recently wrote me (and donated $10!!!) and asked me to add her to the subscription list. I had thought there was a subscribe option, but apparently the old subscribe widget was obsoleted and legacied by WordPress. (Nice going, WP. It worked perfectly well, there was no need to change things!) Anyway, I struggled through …
