I love WordPress! I have been designing web sites since 1995. I was the Creative Arts Director at a church for 10 years and I owned my own web design / hosting company from 1997 -2007. So, I have designed and managed a lot of church websites. Now, I use WordPress for almost all of my projects. Choosing the right theme though, really makes a big difference. Not just any old theme will do if you really want to get the most out of WordPress. I recently redesigned a site for Westland Baptist here in Katy, TX. I did the entire site in WordPress. Static pages, blog, PodCast of messages and video, etc... It turned out really nice and they love. They used to have to use Dream Weaver to update their website and it was a mess! Now, all of the content is easy to manage and just about anyone can update the site. http://westland.cc Barry O. I could not agree with you more. I love WordPress!

Can I just mention our church site self-assessment tool, which will give churches a free 15-page custom report on areas which would enable the site to better reach outsiders: http://ied.gospelcom.net/church-site-desigh.php blessings Tony Great thoughts.

How many churches are videoing their sermons and publishing them online? It's not so difficult to do these days. A useful checklist, thanks.
