About this blog

My name is Sen McGlinn, and I have a profile on the “about” page of my main blog, at http://senmcglinn.wordpress.com/.
I use my main blog to post bits of research, mainly about the Bahai Writings and teachings, sometimes about Islam or religion generally. I am going to use this blog for Bahai news and news about religion and thought in Iran.

Alert readers will notice that I do not use an apostrophe in Bahai, or macrons to mark the long a sound in the names of people and places. This is for two reasons: I think that Bahai can be treated as an anglicized word, rather than a transcription of a foreign word in another alphabet, and because the diversity of software used for viewing on the internet makes it impossible to ensure that all readers see something dignified and legible: the apostrophe sometimes becomes a #039, and other symbols transmute in unexpected ways, producing something that Bah$&#039$s might consider inappropriate.
