Moving toward something bigger than myself.
Welcome. I write for church leaders on topics like strategy and communication. Since this is your first visit, don’t forget to subscribe to my RSS feed.Well, this review would’ve been a little cooler had it been of the RC2 version; the one that was less ubiquitous and still in testing. However, you’ve probably all upgraded [...]
First, I installed Wordpress 2.5 RC2 last night and, at first glance, it looks awesome. It’s a welcome and thank-worthy change. I’ll give you a real review in a couple days after I get a little more time with it.
Now, on to the topic of this article. Many of you know that I’m a worship [...]
Here’s a quick-list of some of latest and greatest in my life in the past couple weeks. They’re random, but this post isn’t a top ten list or a how-to article anyway, so I feel like it’s okay to be random today.
Erica and I bought a new camera yesterday. It’s a Canon Powershot G9. We [...]
Images in blog posts are important. More important than you probably realize. I don’t feel like you need a sermon on how this current generation (and the one coming up) are incredibly visual; you already know that. You just need some encouragement to help you get some great imagery into your posts.
The step of putting [...]
Tony Morgan published an article about how frustrated he is with feedburner. I feel his pain, as does anyone else using feedburner to track their RSS stats. It’s not reporting about 12% of my readers at the moment.
One problem is that Google, feedburner’s owner, has always produced top-notch products (Gmail, Maps, Docs, Apps, etc.). [...]
I feel like this blog is becoming a 37Signals fan site, but I promise that’s not the aim. I don’t work for 37Signals, nor do I receive kickbacks or incentives or whatever. Those guys (and a gal) are just plain smart.
They just posted an article covering the questions they ask themselves “before, during, and sometimes [...]
If you’ve been reading here for very long, you know that I’m a little infatuated with 37Signals, a little web development group in Chicago that’s making a big impact on the web economy. Aside from their insanely useful web apps, one thing that I love about them are their video demos/tutorials.
Since this is mainly a [...]
That’s why 70% of church plants fail.
The leader doesn’t fit the led. When a 50 year old man gets fed up with his church and starts his own church to “reach” a younger, religiously displaced generation. The problem is that he’s not young or religiously displaced. As far as his “target” is concerned, he’s oblivious, [...]
It’s awkward.
Guy Kawasaki just posted a “Formal Announcement” of Alltop, the popurls.com-like website that funnels “all the top content from around the web” into one place for easy consumption. The site publicizes content from all of the most valuable websites and puts it on one page that’s categorized by topic.
My personal favorite is the Social Media [...]
