Just a note. I googled (amazing how that word became a verb) for “pastoral blog” and I was #6. For “pastor blog” I was #30 and for “pastors blog” I came in at #27. Most people who read this may not understand or care about the significance, but to me, it’s pretty cool to come up in the top 30 Google results for those search terms. Just thought I’d share.

I’m excited about the work that our new Pastor of Youth and Outreach is doing already, and now you can keep track of him too at www.refugeministry.net.

It’s been a while since we’ve posted new sermons on the Bible Journey site, but there are at least 4 from the past two weeks now. We had a lot of issues when we upgraded some of the scripts that run the site, and those issues are now fixed, so spread the word. We’ll be adding a lot more sermons from 2008 in the very near future. By the way, how do you like the little Bible reader guy?

Well, if you’ve been here before, you’ll notice another design change. Brandon, why do you change designs so often? Because I feel like it. :-) That is, I enjoy the process. This particular change is pretty radical. I’ve gone from a mocha-feeling tabbed design to a plain white minimalist design so that the content becomes the focal point.

I’ve also encouraged interaction by highlighting the comments area a little better to encourage you to leave comments and I’ve built an email subscription form into the bottom of most of the article pages to encourage you to subscribe. So why not leave me a comment and let me know what you think of this next design, and what you’d like to see in future revisions. After all, I do change my site about every four months. Thanks for reading!!

Major changes are taking place on this, my blog site, brandonacox.com. For one thing, the design, which is obvious to anyone who has been here before, but not since last week. Feel free to tell me what you think - just click here. Read the rest of this entry »
