Parish Notice
Every January, I run through the British Catholic Blog list to see if any blogs have been deleted/made private or have not been updated within the last three years.
If they have been deleted or made private, I delete them from the list and sidebar.
If they are still public but haven't been updated in the last three years, I remove them to the BCB Archive.
As I had a few minutes spare today, I decided to start the updating process three days early. So far, I have checked the blogs in the archive that were last updated in 2020 and deleted all but two of them. Those two were updated in 2024 so have been returned to the main list. My next task will be to go through the sidebar. After that, I will check the main BCB list itself. I will wait until January before I start that job and will keep you updated on my progress.
UPDATE (later on 29.12.24)
I decided to do something about the blogs affected by the sidebar's inability to capture when they were last updated (e.g. the Catholic Herald which, according to the sidebar was last updated seven years ago even though it was updated this month!). I have deleted the blogs from the sidebar and put them in a secondary list below the main one
UPDATE (5.1.25)
I have now run through the BCB list to make sure all the blogs on it have been updated between 2023 and the present. I have also updated the archive and checked that the links there are all correct. This concludes the January update. There are now 70 blogs on the main BCB list. Year or year this figure goes down. I am strongly considering changing the name and focus of this blog so that it becomes more international. We'll see.
With Prayers,
