I started thinking about some of my experiences over the years when it comes to negative comments and criticisms made on my blogs. Particularly those made when I first started blogging 17 years ago:
-Blogs: Evaluate Where You Spend Your Time?
In bouncing off several suggestions I found on other sites about blogging, I began to evaluate where I was spending most of my time—was it really in posting and communicating a desired message or in the usual blogging chores of updating, responding to comments, flushing spam, checking stats, reading and commenting on other blogs, and etc.
Pastors and ministers, who already have a busy schedule, must make the time they take on blogging and the Internet an 'effective' part of their over-all ministry.
-The Importance of Browser Checks
It is a good idea to check out how your blog or website reacts and loads on different browsers!
I have known this in the past and have noticed that my blogs look somewhat different using different browsers and the loading times varied. My daughter alerted me one time a couple of years ago that my site looked somewhat distorted on her Mac–she was using Safari as many Mac folk do. After that I had her checking it out once in awhile.
-Lack of Integrity on Christian Sites?
A few years ago I was checking out the Internet to see what there was about a church organization that I belonged to. I was completely shocked to find so much inaccurate material, and some down right malicious statements about several key leaders that I have known for over 20 years–a bunch of lies mixed in with some 'nearly' truthful highly slanted innuendoes. Amazing!
-You Have My Permission to Change a Published Post
Now for One of my Major 'Editing' Tips: –
When are you done with a post? Some contend that once it is posted that’s it! It is left to revolve around the blogosphere as it is forever. I disagree; for me, editing never ends:
-Jail or Worse: The Possible Down-side of Internet Exposure
This blog is dedicated to encouraging folks to use blogs and the internet in ministry. It is a good time to talk about the possible down-side that some have experienced due to the world-wide nature of the internet, social media, videos, websites, and blogs.
The up-side to the internet is the possible world-wide exposure that it can bring to what you are posting or teaching about. In my case, folks have showed up and read some of my stuff over the last several years from over 160 different countries on every continent. Without leaving my family room, I have been able to touch people in some way all around the world.
Now for the possible down-side.
