Yes! You can EMBED Video DIRECTLY from YOUR FB account. FB becomes your PERSONAL media depository. Not just video BUT audio too with a little massaging. If you understand the concept it is a snap. And. FREE. Like the following.

Welcome. Rev. Pam Easterday

Another possibility, is to use the DOWNLOAD folder accessible through the editor to upload short audio files. Something like the following. Of course you can use an audio MP3 with an appropriate embed of the file which would open an audio player. Both examples below. you have CHOICES.

Rise Up. Claridon Choir

Welcome. Rev. Pam Easterday

Online Demo for the CMSimple Content Management System. Simple. Easy. Affordable. Why drive an SUV when a 10-speed bicycle will do? Think about it. This block along with the following This Week YOU can edit with the online editor just like center content. In fact, place as many blocks as you wish. For more information, see the website of William Brandes Consulting. My strength is in template design (I write all my own HTML coding) and let this backend CMS do the heavy lifting. My church website uses this same program but is given a different look through the template. Everything on both sites are edited through the editor although some stuff such as FLASH audio plugins draw from another directory. But, still all the coding is edited through the site. Cool eh? See Claridon Congregational United Church of Christ.

Furthermore, perhaps you like to write. Especially commentary of the running dialog type. There are a number of excellent FREE programs that allow you to do this. Perhaps the most notable is Blogger. Something like this, Claridon Congregational United Church of Christ Blog might just fit the bill. The price is right. But, don't expect much there. This is ALL DEMO.

Website propagation today, in many ways, has become automated. So automated that in moving from one to the other the draw from the entry can be samo-samo. Which means the USP or unique selling proposition (often first impression or the WOW factor) is lost entirely. Now, the WOW can be simple. I like simple. That mens that someone has spent time to create the greatest relevance with the least expenditure of energy. It all revolves around where you plan to go. My inclination is to gravitate toward simpler, best practice, relevance with ease of updating tools to stamp fresh on a website. My intent is to offer multiple ways for you to understand these principles. Audio will be a big part of this. Stay tuned.I spend alot of time tweaking my home church website. The FRESH principle. You will probably find me there.

A successful website is like a focused business plan. In fact, laying out a website from the outside-in is much like putting together a successfully marketing pan. One focused on the future and focused on strategy. There is no cheap grace. It is hard work. Often requiring one to revise long-held notions of what is right or correct. Who is your customer? What business are you in? The two most important questions, no matter if you are a for profit or not for profit organization. You can massage the terms but it comes out the same. If you don't pay attention, brush these questions aside or back off from their necessity, your organization is doomed to failure. No matter what you think. In the long run it is what they think. Is that how you think? Not think what they think. But KNOW what they think. Difference. This is work. Hard work. But, work that succeeds in getting results. So, what business are you in? Are you a church or a member of one? What business are you in? A common response is "... we aren't in business." Think again. What business are you in? Who is your customer? You say you don't have any customers? Think again. Who is your customer?

How flexible are you? Let me state it another way. Alot of churches think they, the members, are the customers. Think again. What business would survive if they did not think that you NOT their employees are their customers? Their primary customer. Most churches have it the wrong way around. They think the members are the primary customers (secondary yes, primary no) and those outside are secondary. Wrong. You want to grow? You want to be missional? You want to impact the world? Then quit looking in the mirror. Get outside. If you can't or you won't you are doomed. You are irrelevant. You are history. The first hurdle is mindset. Despite what you have been told by popular culture, marketing is neither selling nor advertising. It is strategy. Are you willing to take the first step? With a new window to the world? When you are ready to answer that question in the affirmative, give a call. Then you are ready. To make plans for the future. And, take a quantum leap through that window of opportunity.
