Serious Headway

We've been making some serious headway on the new website. Not a lot to post lately because there has been A LOT of coding, nitty gritty, stuff. But, it's all necessary! You can't get a Firebird with out the nuts and bolts! (Actually, come to think of it, you can't really get a Firebird any more at all!... that's another story). SO, here's some things I can share...

1. We are going to have a platform that is STRONGLY built in a module/gadget/widget friendly way. We are pumped about the myriad of mini-apps we will be able to offer on our site. From ways to quickly find what you want, give you top stories and articles, feature model youth groups, give you the day's quiet time passage and MUCH more!

2. We are very near completeion on podcasting, blogging, video gallery, and file share. All of these pieces are going to enable us to communicate, share, collaborate, network and generally be much more effective and efficient in our ministry to youth and their leaders. These tools will also offer leaders the ability to increase their ministry potential as well.

3. Our new webstore has been going through some beta testing and is really looking great. It is going to be a huge blessing at the end of the summer when people start ordering all their yearly materials.

Within a short amount of time, we hope to begin posting even more screen shots. We plan to take this whole thing live by this coming fall. We look forward to continued ministry together!
