If you are like me, you do not manage your own server but rather pay a hosting fee each month (OK, this is not entirely true, I do, in fact, manage several servers, but go with me here).
It is rather easy to install if you have one of those wonders of technology called One-Click Installs [...]
So, I am working on a new windows-based blogging tool called Windows Live Writer. So far, I am impressed. It looks uncluttered, is very clean and, very importantly, is free. Now, that’s a great development.
Update: So far, it looks like a good tool for use on blogs. I can not only post, but update (like [...]
If you’re like any other minister (youth minister in the house), you have an (over)abundance of things to do and some method to organize and get them done. If you’re like me, that means some form of digital To Do list stored either via email, calendar or some third party software. While I am always [...]
Recently (two days ago), I had the good fortune to hand over the reins of my church website to someone else. While I have been the webmaster over the last three (3) years, I have actually put one up (we only had the domain prior), setup everyone’s email accounts, scoured all our handouts for content, [...]
Ahh, the sweet joy of knowing that you have installed a brand-new version of a cherished program. There are few joys like it. Still, I almost missed this one because I don’t usually use the online login to manage this blog. In fact, I use an offline program called Mars Edit from Red Sweater Software [...]

It looks like Template Monster has some new Drupal skins available. These are a very good (and quick) way to get a new look for your website.
Template Monster Skins Drupal: “
Everybody look out–Template Monster is approaching! *Cue menacing shot of actor in a cheesy monster costume rising over a miniature set of Tokyo*. [...]
CMSWire is posting some interesting tidbits about WordPress plugins. Since the thisMinistry.net blog runs on WordPress, it is always useful to stay informed about additional functionality.
4 More Superfly WordPress Plugins: “
It wasn’t that long ago that we brought you an exclusive view of 7 really Superfly Plugins for Wordpress. But low and behold our [...]
It’s altogether easy to forget that someone actually had to put up money to pay for the buildings we use each week to praise and worship. Sanctuary, parish hall, education building, youth room, Sunday School class, nursery. They all had to be planned out, designed and then constructed. All of that takes [...]
