A couple of people have been asking how the site works as far as contributions. We'll clarify here.
We have a few key members designated as authors: myself, Patrick Adams who administers the site, Jennifer Parkins as Council President, Susan Rigg as Treasurer and general correspondent, and Verna Studer who tapes the sermons on Sunday. Those people post articles when the need arises.
Our blogging platform only allows a limited number of designated authors. Plus it's important to coordinate posts and subjects. So our number of authors is small right now. But other people can also post articles, just not as directly. All you have to do is type up your article and e-mail it to one of these two administrators:
pastordave@geneseelutheranparish.org
patrickadamas@geneseelutheranparish.org
We will copy your article and find an appropriate spot and label for it. It's as easy as pie!
As we're testing our wings comments are turned off for the site. Technically the entire internet has access to our blog if they find it. We want our online footprint to stabilize and to see how much traffic we end up getting. If it looks manageable we'll talk about enabling comments and see how that goes. For a while, though, it's baby steps. Neither Patrick nor I can watch the site 24/7 and we'd prefer not to have a random internet comment ruin the experience for anyone while we're still new at this.
Hope that clarifies for everyone. Enjoy reading!
