Blogging Church Update

After I finished reading the blogging church I wanted to use their idea of creating a blog for a special event to aid in promotion and publicity. We are about to start a financial giving campaign to build a new community life center at my church. So I talked to one of my bosses about possibly setting up a blog that could be used to communicate during the campaign and during the building and renovation phases. We could post pictures, give updates, communicate vision, and keep people excited about what is happening.
Well this morning my boss told me that they liked the idea and that we're going to do it. Of course, it was thrown to me to set it up, but that's easy. I think it could be really cool. It will have 3 authors, but I'm going to talk to each of them and make sure that each one of them is posting at least once per week and putting a heavy emphasis on photos. I'll post a link once it's up and running. JM

The Blogging Church

Finished the blogging church today. There's quite a bit of good stuff in there. I found the "build a better blog" chapter to be the most useful to me personally with tons of tips and tricks for improving your blog and making it easier for people to enjoy your content. I also found some useful tips for ways to use a blog in your church. There was a great idea too on how to use a blog for special events. It makes an easy read, and a pretty good one too. JM

Blogging Church

I just got my copy of The Blogging Church today. I'm so excited. I really think it will help me a lot as far as using my blog and then encouraging my church to embrace blogging technology. I'll probably try to read Prayer of Jabez today so that I can start reading The Blogging Church tonight. JM
