How-To

I haven't done this myself yet so I shant comment. In trying to figure out what sort of questions a church new to using drupal might ask, I happened on this one. "How do you do a sermon podcast?"

Perhaps those actually doing this could share their version of drupal, the modules they depend on and any other tip that might be appropriate in helping others complete this task. This will help us build up resources for others to get started. It might even be a good start towards the case studies we'd like to build up or be something we could start formatting into a wiki page.

I have just put together a Page for our newly forming young adults & professionals small group: http://firstbaptistchurchsh.com/node/28

This is not a "singles" group as is far too common because I don't believe that they are healthy.

This is an Intake/Welcome/Invite-a-Seeker-or-Drifter ministry which may lead to a larger culturally-relevant celebration service with spin-off groups.

That context stated I'd like to put a background or a watermark on the page to make it more interesting, either a picture of our own new Holy Grounds Coffeehouse or something generic.

Last week I started the challenge to upgrade <a href="http://testedgroup.com" target=_blank">my custom zen sub-theme from zen 5.x-0.7 to zen 5.x-1.0 which has taken a couple more hours effort than I had originally expected. The outcome so far however was worth the effort. Thanks JohnAlbin and contributors.

With the excellent documentation, I have decided to start and modify my frontpage from the traditional river of news to display NODE-X that wraps around BLOCK-X displayed on the right hand side of the content. Now I have hit a barrier and I need your input...

Hey Everyone...
Just wanted to point out the latest series over at the Geeks & God Podcast. We're currently in the middle of a series called "forming online community" in which we're talking about building a internet based, interactive community for your church or ministry. Currently, we've got 4 episodes online with 2 episodes to go, which will release in the next 2 weeks (yielding a 6 part series)...

Of course, we talk about Organic Groups but we also cover a much wider spectrum of what it means to create an online community.

Check the series out (in reverse chronological order) at: http://geeksandgod.com/podcast-series/forming-online-community

Hope this helps some folks think about creating online community at their church!

I am wondering what an effective taxonomy for churches would be (and if there is a common taxonomy among churches). What taxonomy structure are you using for you church's drupal site?
