The birds are singing, the flowers are blooming and WordPress 2.5 has been ‘in the wild’ for a couple of weeks. These factors, and the fact that my own blog is getting a bit crufty has me thinking it is time for yet another Heal Your Church Website do-over. That and I’ve been getting some ‘love notes’ that either fall into the category “how do I get started” or “you reviewed my site, so here is why your blog sucks.” I figure success is the best response, so here’s my initial game plan - thinking out loud as some of you may be in a similar situation of having to freshen up your church and/or charity website.
Research
I’ve already got a good idea of what I want to say, so mostly in this case I need study what resonates via the results I’ve been collecting via Google Analytics and FeedBurner, including:
keywords,
popular pages,
unusual usages of feeds,
any patterns in exit pages,
any patterns in entry pages,

Ho aggiornato il tema del blog. Il tema adottato ( Code Red - Revolution-2 ) non risponde a tutte le caratteristiche che desidero (soprattutto per il fatto di non essere fluido) però mi è piaciuto parecchio subito.
Nel frattempo ho anche abilitato un plugin ( Wordpress Mobile Plugin ) che promette di migliorare la navigabilità con i dispositivi mobili.

Sencillamente impresionante. Aun no ha pasado una semana desde que salió a la venta, y ya se ha podido desbloquear. LA forma ha sido algo extraña. Se consigue mediante un código de 8 cifras, que puede ser adquirido al precio de 23 dólares, además de proporcionar el numero IMEI del aparato.
Pero siempre esta el arma de doble filo. El desbloqueo puede causar problemas en la conexión a Gmail o Google Maps . Lo típico, aunque no tardaran en arreglar esto. Aunque hay algo que no me cierr... more
The reports of escalating incidents of piracy off the coasts of Somalia have been getting a lot of attention in recent months. The piracy has been in all the news with the recent capture of a supertanker called "Sirius Star" and hostages of its 25 crew along with a full load of oil (worth over $150 million), and the capture of a cargo vessel and hostages carrying tanks a few weeks ago. Last month, Google Earth Community (GEC) member ’expedition’ created a very interesting m... more
Filed under: Tech , Videos , Mercedes-Benz Mercedes Benz myCOMAND interface German automakers have gotten plenty of flack for their less than intuitive Navigation/Infotainment systems, but Mercedes Benz is working hard to change that with its myCOMAND concept. The myCOMAND system uses high-speed wireless Internet with upload and download speeds of over 3MB to bring the connectivity of the web into any driver’s hands. It’s similar to interfaces from the competition in that i... more
I just overheard a useful conversation between two vending machine operators while loading up our office junk food dispenser with a bunch of products that didn’t sell last week. It is if nothing else, an object lesson in contrast to my oft quoted aphorism “solve their problems, don’t tell them yours.” Here are 5 things we can in turn do in contrast to improve the user experience on our church and/or charity websites …
… but first a bit of context.

Yes, I know, all cool programmers use Python these days - but to this old-school programmer, PERL is to my antiquated PC what GWBasic was to first computer at work back in 1983. That is a nice little tool to get things done, like identify a list of IP addresses by country.
Here’s the situation, I’ve been getting a lot of incoming spambots attempting to create accounts and post comments both here on HYCW and a few other sites I help manage. The Akismet spam filtering serv... more
As a card-carrying member of the vast math conspiracy , and in light of Barack Hussein Obama, Jr.’s statement made in Beaverton Oregon last week that has been all but ignored by old media - I have decided to fight off the fatigue of almost turning 50 next weekend by providing the blogosphere the tools required to accurately quote, report and interpret quotes such as the one made below:
It is wonderful to be back in Oregon. Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of ... more
Those putting off the purchasing and/or long-term renewal of a domain name for their church and/or charity because the price was too high may want to re-think that strategy as it appears that the Public Interest Registry ( PIR ), the registry for ‘.org’ domain names, will be raising their annual wholesale price for ‘.org’ domains by 10%.
In a May 1, 2008 communications with Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ( ICANN ), the PIR dis... more
