Random Rant: Click Here
I hate Click Here.
Click Here is a terrible way to link to a document or web page. It’s not descriptive or helpful. In fact, I would argue that it’s lazy and just wastes space.
The World Wide Web Consortium, an international community that develops standards to ensure the long-term growth of the Web, is even [...]
Church Web Design: People vs. Buildings
I have been doing a little thinking about this topic lately. In church web design, should you feature pictures of your congregation, or just pictures of your building and surrounding neighborhood? I would like to hear where you stand. Here are my initial thoughts. Feel free to disagree or convince me otherwise.

LA Nonprofits on Twitter
While I was sitting around the house this morning, an idea popped in my head. The idea was simple. I should find local nonprofits on Twitter and follow them. Now, I agree this may not sound like a lot of fun, but when you're a nerd like me things like this sound exciting.
To my surprise, after a short [...]
