Facebook Settings…again
Well it appears that Facebook has changed some of its components once again which leads us to go back an re-evaluate how we want things seen and shared. I am still trying to wade my way through all of this, but I have found 2 postings that I would like to share on this. One […]
Increasing traffic to your Facebook Site
With all of the other things on my plate, one thing that I need to tend to more is Facebook and using it support your mission in the world. I found this link via @RevWeb and it has some good tips on how to make Facebook more effective for your church. The site has an […]
Multiple Administrators?
I have started following #chsocm, a great little blog by Meredith Gould (@meredithgould). She has a guest post by @penelopepiscopl (who has her own blog “One Cannot Have Too Large a Party“) on The Case for Multiple Admins. In this post, she talks about the use of multiple administrators to do the social media work. […]

It is the brainchild (if I may be so bold) of Sarah Dylan Breuer, the executive director of Province 1 and the author of the popular blog SarahLaughed.net. One of the recent topics of […]
Social Media Isn’t Scary
I know when I have talked to some church groups, there is a resistance to looking at social media and how it should be used. I have come across a nice article by Aliza Sherman called “8 Reasons Not to Fear Social Media“. It is a real practical and balanced article and well worth the […]
Is Facebook Good for the Soul?
I have a link here from The Episcopal Cafe by Ellen Painter Dollar about the dark and light sides of Facebook and social networking—their capacity for both nurture and narcissism. As we talk more and more about social media and how it would work within the church, I think she raises some excellent points as […]
