Resource Links and Notes for 2/7

Well, My bride and I are traveling to Kansas City to visit friends and to take some time off this week. I really don’t know what my posting schedule’s going to be like, so … yeah, you just might have to explore my archives.

In the meantime though, here’s some links to explore …

ON BEING MISSIONAL… My friend Brad Briscoe is kicking off a new blog called the Missional Church Network. Brad is an awesome guy I met while I was at Midwestern Baptist Seminary in Kansas City. He’s a veteran church planter and a missional guru. He lived this article titled 10 Practical Ways to Get to Know Your Neighbor. I love his practical tips for reaching out … and across the fence in your own neighborhood.

ON CHURCH WEBSITES & BLOGGING… David at Church Blogger has some good posts on all things church communications — actually, it’s church website and blogging ideas and much more.

ON MY FIRST CUSTOM WP THEME… I’ve been working on creating my first custom WordPress theme for public release. You can see a preview of it over at my vacant blog site Movie Bleeps. By the way, if you’re interested in beta-testing this theme for me before I do the public release, send me an email. Special thanks to Brian!

ON INSTALLING WP FOR FREE… Speaking of WordPress, did you know they will sometimes install it for you on your server for free?

ON GETTING BLOG TRAFFIC… Daniel at Daily Blog Tips has a group project listing 30 blog traffic generation tips. If you haven’t been reading him, you should … he gives tons of practical stuff.

ON THANKING CHURCH RELEVANCE… Kent at the excellent site Church Relevance allowed me to vent this week, gave me some godly advice and shared some of his blogging experiences with me. He’s at the top of my feedreader … go check it out … and also his design services also! Thanks, Kent!!!
