You could use the Calorie King toolbar to look up the nutritional information of food — I record everything I eat — but I think that takes up too much monitor space.
Instead, I added Calorie King as a search engine in the pull-down search engine bar at the upper right hand side of my browser. […]
Out again today, walking, but the weather isn’t as nice as yesterday. Much colder with gusts that remind me of my hurricane-filled childhood. But anything for you, my dears. For the shopping suggestions, drop to the end; first, being Sunday, cometh the sermon.
As it happens, I’m trying to slim down on just about everything: personal […]
A lovely, sunny day in Washington, D.C. today and people in the Logan Circle area were out enjoying dining, shopping and having a promenade. Interestingly, but not surprisingly, Obama campaign workers were out leafleting, holding signs and reminding passers-by that our primary is Tuesday. In the neighborhood walk that followed, I saw several (apartment-)house signs, […]
Several people have resumed discussion of General Assembly: of this, I have nothing to add.
But it leads me to a bit of good news. I am back to the weight shown on my driver’s license, long a fiction. More than 20 pounds down from where I was when I started to loose weight at […]
At the risk of overselling Google Documents, I think I have a tool to promote that would be very helpful for people in churches large and small. Thanks to a Day Job Office Mate, I learned that Google Docs spreadsheets can now be shared as a form.
Previously, it was possible to share a spreadsheet […]
I’ve gotten some kind feedback about this emerging series, and not even from someone in a tiny church! That feedback leads me to the next two or three installments, continuing the theme of communications.
The question was about having a good email newsletter. But that assumes a communications plan. Does your church have a strong culture […]
D.C., Maryland and Virginia — and other states — will be voting in presidential primaries next week, so I shall wish you a happy Mardi Gras instead. (A Trader Joe’s fiber muffin is no substitute for king cake.) I lived several of my childhood years in suburban New Orleans so well recall the day, […]
I’ll try to make the case later that people administering and organizing churches should have a Google account. There are many well-known, well-tested tools. More about that later.
But if you need a quick, simple and attractive web site, you might try a little known tool: pages.google.com. Some have used the Google Blogger tool — itself […]
How did the church newsletter become an essential feature of church communications? If you look to nineteenth century Universalist newspapers, you know they handed many functions of the church newsletter, including inspiring thoughts, service notices, denominational affairs and family crises.
There’s a story about the proliferation of local church newsletters, I’m sure, but I suspect […]
The Web site for Indianapolis Star reports today about a flagship former Methodist Church’s conversion to secular use.
But see about a half way down to read how the old 1911 All Souls Unitarian Church building — which the church left for new (and current) digs in 1959 — became “a combination of residences and studios.”
The […]
