I am the developer who created the site and it is good to hear the comments you had. This site was actually made in 2006 so there are many things I would like to change when we get around to the next revision. We use Drupal as the CMS for the site and could provide an RSS feed for the front page. After looking at all the statistics for the site and conducting some usability tests we came to the conclusion that having the RSS feed on the front page was not very useful and confused a lot of people. It was even more confusing than the funky menu system we have :-) I have been working with the staff at westwinds to bring all their separate website entities into one site. Eventually it would be nice to have all the blogs hosted on the site but for now the flexibility that blogger gives the staff is working well. Thanks for all your comments and I will definitely use those recommendations in updating the site in the next few weeks. Thanks for your comments about the westwinds site.

And their blogs are on Blogspot, so should have RSS feeds. I know you recommend Blogger as a easy tool for churches, but do people realize they don't have to use Blogspot?
