MT for plebs

| | Comments (2) | TrackBacks (0)

I've not had much time to blog since last week .... I've spent almost every online minute working on two new websites for my church. Our Student Ministry and College Ministry websites .... They're done entirely in Movable type (well almost entirely. The photo albums were done with 4Images) - and I love MT even more now than I did when I first discovered it. The possibilities are endless .... I'm using it on these two sites as an easy way for non-web savvy people to easily be able to update content on their websites. Within an hour this morning, I was able to show our youth minister and one of his summer interns how to update the special events page, post a newsletter, post an article, etc. And of course MT knows exactly where to put all that information -- with excerpts here and the full text there, links to archives, etc. I spent a few weeks setting up the databases and extensive templates -- but now I can sit back and watch them have fun keeping it up to date and fresh for the students. We still have a lot of content to add ... but my part is basically over. All they have to do is post entries for all the different pages and MT does the rest.

I :heartbeat: Movable Type :)

your church is freaking huge. and everytime i'm reminded of where you work i feel kind of bad for swearing so much. just like how i felt bad mentioning alcohol to rob and jeff, like they're going to tsk at me. i still feel like they're disapproving older siblings, though... :worried:

We still love you ... and trust me, I do my share of swearing, even if I do try to only say it in my head :tongue:
