I hear this one from time to time. I know, I know: it seems like CultureFeast.com goes through periods of hibernation, then bursts on the scene with a flurry of new content, then disappears again.
The short and simple answer is that I’ve grown tired of pop culture. It’s always the same flashing lights. I’m pursuing more substance, which leads me to write more often on my personal site or RenewMyMind.com.

If you’ve tried reading through the comments on Papaya Clothing, Caylee Anthony, or Facebook Breastfeeding Photos, you’ve probably given up along the way. Once an article’s comments get into the 20s and beyond, it’s frustrating to follow who’s responding to what.
Thank God for WordPress. I recently came across a plugin that allows us to thread the comments of each post, starting now. So when you want to reply to a specific comment, you’ll click “Reply” at the end of that person’s comment rather than the generic “Leave a Reply” at the end of all comments.

On behalf of the CultureFeast writers, Happy New Year! May this be one you never forget, as you leap frog into greater depths of personal growth and wholeness.
I won’t speak for you, but 2008 was an interesting year for us. We started off the year with a bang, pumping out two, sometimes three posts per day. Many new writers joined our little experiment last January. We cut production back to one a day halfway through the year when our staff shrank due to life circumstances.
Our writers contribute their thoughts and perspectives because they have something to say, and if it helps their career in the process, what’s the harm in that, right?
Let’s take a quick look back at the twelve most popular articles of 2008 as well as a few other interesting things, as we say goodbye to that which has gone before, and we look forward to having the best year we’ve ever had.

If you enjoy reading the content on this site, I’d encourage you to write comments every time you read an article. Comments are the unofficial currency. It’s what encourages bloggers to continue. It reminds them that someone cares that they take the time to share their thoughts and opinions.
You don’t have to agree with us to comment. In fact, we’d appreciate hearing from those of you who don’t. We’re always up for quasi-intellectual banter. All respectful comments are welcome. We won’t always see eye to eye, but we gauge our success by your comments, so keep ‘em coming!
RSS Button
Not everyone reads blogs the same way. Some visit their faves on a regular basis and skim the latest titles. Some subscribe to the RSS feed using Google Feedreader, Bloglines, or a dozen other feed readers. Some subscribe to feeds via email.
Whichever fits you best, you can now have it just the way you want it when you read CultureFeast.com. You won’t get irritating bits of stories through our RSS feeds. You get whole stories AND the photos that make them memorable.
So whether you want to visit the site, or you like to have the latest news and posts sent to you, you’ll get the best articles from the opinionated culture lovers you’ve enjoyed here over the years.
Oh, and before we forget: we’ll be offering our RSS feed subscribers a special thank you very soon. Stay tuned for more details.
We’d like to take a few minutes to look back over September and give credit to the top stories during the month of September 2008. Some of these stories were written well before September, but continue to top the list in popularity. So without further ado, let’s begin with #10 and work our way to #1. Traffic numbers listed represent September traffic only.

My apologies, Feasties. We hit a snag this morning that has removed the ability to read single posts. We’re working on correcting this problem ASAP. A possible workaround in the meantime is to view the archives and select a month, which may allow you to read entire posts for that time period while we fix this issue. Hopefully we’ll be back to normal before day’s end.
Update
We have fixed the issue and you can now click the title of any post and continue reading the article in its entirity.
Thanks for your patience!
- Daniel
