The Ora et Labora blog was one of the first oblate blogs I found and added to the list of other oblate blogs listed on the right sidebar of the Oblate Blog. But, for some reason, I could not get my Blogger software to pickup the new posts like it did for the other blogs. I tried several times and it never showed when this fine blog was updated. Well, today I tried again and it worked. You will now be able to easily see when Ora et Labora blog has been updated.

November 27, 2008
The Expanded Index page was reformatted to make each entry a hyperlink. The previous format had the links in the description of the topic.
November 26, 2008:
The list of in-depth New Advent Encyclopedia articles on many monastic topics has been expanded by the addition of several new articles.
Several errors I made when doing the November 23rd revisions were corrected.
Several page designations were either wrong or did not make any sense! The obvious need to correct the work I did on Nov. 23 dawned on me when I realized that the first page people go to after the home page should be called page 1. Oh, boy.
The name of the Large Index was changed to Expanded Index.
The page previously called "Find information on Oblate Spring" was unclear --- at least one person thought it was information ABOUT the Oblate Spring web site. The page is now called "How to Use the Oblate Spring web site."
A change in the format of the Expanded Index has started. A bullet symbol will be inserted by each index entry.
November 23, 2008:
What I am Doing page added
Find Info on Oblate Spring page added
The top menu bar was revised and expanded
Links to several key monastic articles from the New Advent Encyclopedia added. These key articles are grouped in a handy list.

The About page was revised to add links to the Find Info page
Information on Lectio Divina was added to the Large Index for easier reference (it is also on Page 2)
