Blogs, Podcasts, Etc.

As we continue to focus on reworking this website, and our entire organization, we must make other changes as needed. Right now, this means our blog will be less frequent. But only for a few weeks.

Last week, we told you we’re going from a weekly to a monthly podcast. Our home page feature, The Humanity Spotlight, now will be the place where we make major announcements. For our blog, we’re going to publish a new one when we have something worth saying – and in time, once our website redesign is done, that will mean more frequent blogs. Instead of adhering to a rigid weekly schedule, we’re going to just do a blog when we feel a blog. At the moment, most of our efforts are behind the scenes. We’re working at building a broader board of directors, finding contributors, locating someone who will carry out our website redesign for a bargain price and more. Again, we ask for patience. But we do want to keep you informed about what we’re doing – and why. We know that, once we’re done, The Humanity Project will serve your needs in a way we haven’t been able to do before. We think that will be worth this brief wait.

Changes, Changes …

Yes, more changes are happening at The Humanity Project. We really do think you’ll be happy with the results when they’re all finished. But for now, these changes mean you’ll see some different things on this website.

Last week’s changes included our move into a new headquarters. It’s a comfortable place with more space than our previous office. We think it will make an inspiring spot for us to work. But the most important change to you is this: our mission has been refocused. We now are committed to helping people live happier lives through dedicated service to others, something we call a “giving lifestyle.” This goes way beyond simple volunteer work, though volunteering may (or may not) be part of the answer for you. We’re talking about a complete attitude shift, from self-centered thinking to outer-directed thinking focused on the needs of others. Scientific research is proving that this attitude is the very thing that makes us happiest in the long run – doing for others helps us more than anything else, oddly enough. That’s the idea we’ll be teaching on this website and in the community. But for now, we’re in transition. So this means we’ll be changing the frequency of our podcasts – from weekly to monthly. And we’ll now update the home page feature, The Humanity Spotlight, when there’s something important to tell you about. Basically, our web operations are in a temporary slowdown so that we can work on the website redesign. When that’s done, we’ll come back with bold new features and even more exciting podcasts and blogs than in the past. Stay with us.
