Web Week

As I come to the end of the week, I look at my time sheet for work and realize that I've spent almost all of my time this week working on websites. Most of the week was spent rebuilding the church website in Joomla. It's funny, the reason I use Joomla these days is because the committee decided to use a CMS, Drupal was decided upon, I saw the beauty of a CMS, I tried to build Jodie's Design website in Drupal, after screaming at my computer decided to try some other ones, discovered that Joomla is more in line with my style, and now the church website is in Joomla. Did you follow that? ;-)


Anyway, I finished up yesterday, and got the domains all transferred over. I came home today from the Barkey funeral (by the way, truly a blessed time of remembering Aaron, if you weren't there, you can read Pastor Flack's message here) excited about sitting down and having a relaxing day, and as I walk in the door, Jodie greets me with, "our websites have been hacked." <groan> So, I spent the next 2 or 3 hours first restoring our backups and then making sure it doesn't happen again. These people need to find something else to do with their time, seriously.


Then, after a moment of inspiration, I promptly sat down and programmed the Grace Youth Ministries website that's been in the waiting for a while. It is now an empty designed sponge waiting to be filled with content (that's actually what took me all week with the Grace site, there was a lot of content).


On a completely random and unrelated note, if you aren't a Grace attendee, chances are that you've never heard or sung Chris Tomlin's version of All the Way My Savior Leads Me. I much prefer it to the hymn music (don't worry, Fanny Crosby's lyrics are still intact), and I like the chorus he added. On the plus side, every time we sing it in church, the congregation belts it out, and I do love hearing the congregation belt it out!
