Free Contact Email Forms For Your Church Website
Posted by: | CommentsIf you’ve been following my Using WordPress to Run Church Websites series, then I need to add an additional plugin that allows you to easily put a contact form on your church website.

RockinBlue: My First Free, Public WordPress Theme
Posted by: | Comments
I’m thrilled to announce that I just released my first free and public WordPress theme called RockinBlue.
We’ll see how this week goes but I’m probably going to be blogging on my experience of creating the theme soon. Up until now, I’ve really only tweaked and tinkered with others’ themes. But this one’s mine. 
I’d like to say a BIG thank you to Brian Gardner for his awesome help and patience.
