Glad you asked ... it did so by building an organization around intelligent people who understood how to grow the corporate needs around what the customer wanted. Put in more "Christian" terms, it's about satisfying one's self by first serving others.

The hack of Sarah Palin's email account via Yahoo's password recovery system serves as a wake-up call that screams that no matter how strong a password you use - if you have weak password recovery questions - you're open for an attack. <a href="http://healyourchurchwebsite.com/2008/09/18/5-things-we-can-learn-about-password-recovery-questions-from-sarah-palin/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Filed under "If it ain't broke don't Fix it,"SiteMeter, a webpage tracking service popular with pundit blogs, was compelled to roll-back a deployment and issue a public apology after they messed-up badly when they deployed new features that inflamed the blogosphere more than the myth that Palin and Obama are the pawns of an upcoming alien abduction to convert both Christians and Muslims to tenents of XENU. The end result were a number of prominent A-list political bloggers voicing dissatisfaction with the new SiteMeter reminiscent of the New Coke disaster of 1985. <a href="http://healyourchurchwebsite.com/2008/09/15/5-things-we-can-learn-from-the-sitemeter-debacle/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The WikiPedia defines 'cruft' is computing jargon for code, data, or software of poor quality and 'kitsch' as art that is considered an inferior, tasteless copy of an existing style. The Celebrations Of The King Ministries in Loma Linda, CA provides a website that is both. The only real question being, what % is kitsch, and what % is cruft - as the design of the this church website seems to take its queue from the Hamster Dance school  of design, circa 1998. <a href="http://healyourchurchwebsite.com/2008/08/27/a-celebration-of-cruft-the-king-of-kitsch-ministries/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

Today I ask that question of the Westwinds Community Church of Jackson, MI - based in part on some advice offered by Cynthia Ware in her post 4 Simple Steps to Improving Your Website.

		<description><![CDATA[One of the more painful big money issues facing churches and charities are upcoming energy costs that will consume more funds once allocated to other endeavors; while forcing some locations to have black-out dates to reduce the high cost of heating a facility during off-hours. Not to mention the rising costs to staff and laypersons to drive to said locations during the week. With such exorbitant expenses in mind, there are many online technologies now available to an ever growing bandwidth-enabled congregations that will allow them to save money by moving mid-week meetings and classes out of bricks-n-mortar places and into the web space. <a href="http://healyourchurchwebsite.com/2008/08/20/5-ways-to-save-fuel-and-staff-costs-by-screencasting-webinars/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
