Strategies and Tools:: Getting Quality High PR Backlinks

Evangelizing through the web does certainly extend your reach around the globe and around the clock. Also remember, your church is in its own corner of the world and it has a mission right next door.

The primary point I'm hoping to get across, and I think Michael (micblame) is echoing, is that there are far more direct ways of improving your online position than seeking out backlinks. Secondary to that point is it is far easier to backlink wrong than it is to backlink properly and effectively. The challenge we face here and hope to communicate to more web stewards is how to build their ministry's online strategy on a firm foundation for the sharing of the Gospel.

That has been, and still is, the goal and mission of this website - to educate, encourage, empower, equip and enable others to carry on the work of Jesus Christ. Help them separate the easy from the simple.

The Core:: ImpressCMS install HELP!!!
I am pretty sure that my host service is not up to date enough to install Impress.

I am going to install Apache locally. that will at least enable me to learn the program. I was able to instal on my machine and connect to the db on my host but it failed with a fast cgi script. It was almost completed!

Thanks for your time in helping me.

Hello Brother Steve. I really appreciate what you have done here. I need it! I have been given the task of rebuilding/ re-establishing our church web site and honestly I know very little about it. I can't even get basic html right.

Our church is small and in a small country town so having something to offer for content in a site for us is a little thin. I have spent the past several weeks looking at/ trying out various CMS packages, so far I am not too thrilled at what I have discovered. All offer all this great ease of use for the novice but are not really much better than free css templates. i.e. concrete 5.

I use a free unlimited Christian host you should ad to your site, Witnesstoday.org unlimited band width etc. Paul Hester does a great service for no charge. That alone makes me WANT to donate!

Your articles are every insightful. Perhaps the Lord led me here? hmmm...

God Bless, we will be praying por your ministry.

Strategies and Tools:: News feed does not work ?

Thanks for the tip.

Actually, it's not an issue with the core, it is with the module(s) that filter HTML on output, too - CBB is one of them. It was discussed in the ImpressCMS forums - http://community.impressc ... mp;forum=1

BTW - any makeTareaData4... or makeTboxData... method is outdated. Replace with the proper method as indicated in class/module.textsanitizer.php

It may, or may not, be relevant in your situation, but here is an article I wrote on this topic, too - An Effective Solution for Church Web Sites.

I've also just found this - Determine Your Goal - the first in a series about church web planning and development. There's lots of good stuff out there and I plan on bringing as much of it together as possible.

Peace!

The Core:: Problems with my church's Xoops website
Francine - use the search tab to limit the list to 'system-admin' in the gperm_name, you'll get more of what you are looking for.

Better make a backup now - and get in the habit of doing it more frequently. Check with your host provider to see if they do any automatic backups of the database. If they do, get one from before you first noticed the problem, or as far back as you can go if that is not available.
