Here you’ll find the journal of an average man wrought with joy. One day you’ll find this diary in libraries across America between copies of Anne Frank and A Million Little Pieces.
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.The free Wordpress installs/setups for church leaders are going well. I had to put some parameters on the offer. In the beginning, there were a few folks taking advantage of [...]
My Twitter followers have almost caught up with my subscriber count (subscribe through a reader or through email). So, I wanted to find out how much overlap there is. If you’re a reader/subscriber and you also follow me on Twitter. Let me know in the comments.
Plus, I’m looking for some interesting people to follow on [...]
It’s okay. You can say it.
“I told you so.”
Okay, now that that’s out of your system, let’s get down to brass tacks. I adopted Twitter about three weeks ago. It quickly became my favorite addiction. However, after using it for only a short time, I’ve come to realize its real-world value and usefulness outside of [...]
After I posted the offer to do free Wordpress installs for church leaders, I received dozens of requests. “Dozens” may not seem like a lot to an uber-blogger like Los or Tony, but for a little guy like me, it was fun to get a great response.
About a week later, Cory from iThemes.com and Church [...]

The purpose of captcha is to stop unwanted visitors to your site from participating in your site’s community (aka spam). You’ll mainly find it when trying to comment [...]
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 to 2.5 by now, so this will really only be a confirmation of what you already know. For those of you who haven’t upgraded yet, [...]
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.
