My wife sent me this picture today. One must always remember to balance ministry and time on the internet with family or this could happen to you:
-What about Blogging and Taxes?
It is almost Tax time in the USA. If you made any money on your blog or website last year at all, no matter how big or how small, it must be reported. The IRS treat hobby bloggers far different than those who make a substantial income online and consider their websites to a real business or part of actual company.
-The Digital Reformation: The Internet is Bringing a Paradigm Shift in Evangelism
The invention of the printing press brought with it revolutionary changes in communicating the Gospel and spreading Christianity around the World. It made it possible for Bibles to be mass produced and available to regular folks. Since then the Bible has been translated into thousands of different languages.
In fact some Bibles associations are forecasting that the New testament at least may be available in every language there is around the world within 10 years or so making it possible for the Gospel to potentially go to every nation. Incredible.
-New Year: A Good Time to Evaluate Your Blog or Website
The new year is a good time to evaluate your blog or website. An excellent time to evaluate exactly what you are currently doing and how it measures up with your original vision. Or better yet, is the original vision that got you started blogging in the first place still valid or does it need to be adjusted or changed in any way?
One of the most effective ways to judge what you’re really doing is to take a hard look at how you’re really spending your time.
-Tool: Blog & Website Grader
Ever wonder how your blog or website
stacks up against all of the rest? Do you want to know what improvements you should make on your site?
Here’s a tool that will evaluate your site in a minute or even less: <<Website Grader>>
-Responding in Love to Difficult Comments
Well sometimes comments can actually ruin your whole day. One of the hardest things to do as a Christian blogger is to respond in love to those who criticize and are down right mean and ornery to you in their comments.
-10 Online Behaviors That Christians Should Avoid
Here’s a good article from Church Mag listing 10 different behaviors that Christians should avoid if they want to maintain a good reputation and continue to be positive ambassadors for Christ:
-The Daunting and Haunting Task of Proofreading
Proofreading is probably a writer’s least favorite task. It is also quite necessary, entirely expected, and all of the ‘rewards’ are negative at best. What makes it particularly daunting and haunting is the obvious fact that all of us fail at it occasionally no matter how many times we re-read and edit our masterpieces.
How many times have you bloggers glanced upon yesterday’s article that you’re so proud of only to find an obvious error that the spell check missed or worse yet you used the wrong ‘their’ there. It happens to me all of the time.
-Backing Up Your Blog or Website
I have learned the hard way how important it is to backup your blog or website or even your computer for that matter.
What if tomorrow your blog or hosted website files were hacked into and were changed or destroyed, what would you do? Or worse yet- what if your host went belly up and no longer existed flushing all of your blogging files (it has happened)?
-Before You hit The ‘Publish’ Button
Here’s a checklist to use before you hit the ‘Publish’ button and send your new post permanently into the blogosphere:
1. Read the post over several times.
2. Check spelling.
3. Check the words used- do they best communicate and illustrate what you want to say?
4. Come up with an interesting and relevant title.
