“The RoseBouquet”

A number of sites that I look after slip into a more dormant state after a while. The owners get busy with other things and forget to keep providing fresh material for me to add. Once in a while they send a few photos or some announcement to add, but usually they don’t all ask for a spurt of work from me at once. It was because of this, that I decided that it would be possible to take on a new client for a new site. The first few weeks or months are often intensely busy, and then we begin to slow down.

However, on Saturday night when I checked my emails before going to bed, I realized that this was going to be an unusual week. One friend of a friend, for whom I’d promised a web page when she got her special calendar made, suddenly came through with it. Almost a year after we first discussed this. Another ministry client now wants me to add 28 books to the site. Yet another one wants to discuss adding some inter-active courses to their site.

And just yesterday still another wrote and asked about updating his site altogether. From what he described I think he needs a blog setup so he can enter his own information on a daily or weekly basis. (If he can spare the time!)

Hmm… I’ve been giving two evenings to my new client’s site. He has a deadline too. At first glance this looks a little crowded.

However, the Lord often deigns to help me through these things. Last night I was able to squeeze in the work on the first request. The 28 books have not reached me yet, so that may go on hold.
I’ve already told the client wanting the inter-active courses that we’ll need to discuss this by email first, and they’ll need to wait until next month, July. Assuming the last one likes the idea of a blog where he can login and make his own entries without going through me… I can squeeze that in somewhere too, over the next couple of weeks. Meantime, we need to toss some emails back and forth so I clearly understand what kind of changes he wants.

Oh, and the client wrote on the weekend, suggesting a simpler template than the one I’ve been working on. Hey, that’s good news! That means the work of the last 2 weeks is sort’a down the drain, but it solves several other problems, so I can move forward better, faster.

No need to panic. It’s all going to work out.

Today, my article will show how to set up a Blog, assuming you are ready to evangelize online via that route. See below.
