Free ebook: Why Every Christian Leader Must Blog
Blogger Rodlie Ortiz is offering a free ebook to all those who follow his blog.
In his book Why Every Leader Must Blog: 7 Reasons To Start Now & 11 Tips To Get You Started, his contention is an established one – that what we sit down to consider, think around, and write about, we understand and remember far better. That's why you used to write essays at school and college, remember? It's one reason why people keep journals or diaries, or even take notes during sermons.

Best social media tip ever: don't multi-task, set time blocks
The social media monster is out to get you! How to beat him:
- Don't multi-task. Do each thing in time blocks. Then desist completely till its next time block. One at a time: Twitter, Facebook, emails, creative stuff, other responsibilities.
- Sometimes even switch off – don't be like the girl at 0:18 in the frieze on the bronze statue at the magnificent rebuilt London St Pancras station.

Consider Wordpress for your next web project
If you are considering starting a new website including church site or blog, put WordPress near the top of your list of options. It is a CMS (Content Management System) website creator, and is no longer just a blog tool. Large static websites can be built with it, for example the 1000s of pages of the PowertoChange outreach site. It powers 20-25% of all new websites coming online.

Use images always, everywhere, they enhance text and readability
We are wired for visual imagery. An image can express – in a fraction of a second – a mood, a truth, or just an enticement to keep reading a text article. Use them constantly!
Creative commons (i.e. broadly free to use) images can be found through an advanced image search at Google or Flickr. There are also many other sources of free photos, graphics and icons, including Bible images.
