website 101

August 30, 2007 at 5:58 pm (church, rambling)

I set up a new website for the Orchard 2 weeks ago and I’ve been working on it ever since. To be quite honest, I’m proud of myself. I don’t know why. It’s not like I mastered HTML code or anything, I just plugged all of my information into iWeb ‘08 (part of my overall Mac life – which I highly recommend to anyone who’s planting a church, running ministry, or is in a vocation that calls for them to be creative or media-driven at all).

A website is a very important way to get information out to the world about your organization or cause. You must use caution, however, because once something is put out there, it’s hard to bring it back. In our world which seems to be more and more wired everyday, the internet is an important place to edify or nullify your image or message.

My case in point:

A picture from the whitehouse.gov website.

Look at the photo, then at the caption, think about the date and shake your head. (click on the picture to see the caption)

Confused? Here’s a hint: Not everyone celebrated John McCain’s birthday with a cake that year.
