Worship Tech Web Tools Blog
This is an ongoing blog of web tools and technology related to worship, music and church. The idea is to give you good web points and resources that you can go to. Some of it is just me cruising the net, others are favorites of friends.
Enjoy what you see here. If you find an interesting, useful and technology related site or resource that deals with helping worship or musicians in general, please send us a note and we will check it out. Perhaps we can feature it here.
Thanks!
Enjoy! - Kim Gentes

How To Blog & Podcast Your Life Away!! (Kim Gentes)
Squarespace.com - A while back I was looking for a way to maintain a few web sites for personal, small business and church use. In all cases, my big goal was excellent presentation with low maintenance effort. I figured the trade off would be to find a system that has nice GUI and presentation features and could do things quickly, but it would cost the typical arm and leg. I searched high and low. You know the drill- blogger, typepad, moveable type, etc etc. Then a friend (a good smart friend) told me about Squarespace. Wow! It looked fantastic. Then he showed me how to edit and update things. Another Wow!!
Seeing as all my needs were met, I braced myself for the sticker shock. But what I got was a 3rd "Wow"! There was no shock, just a nice, low cost, but beautifully functional podcasting/blogging/web tool for a few bucks a month. Ya, I know, I was surprised too.
There is just a ton of great functions inside it and some advanced templates that people with little (or no) time can employ fairly quickly. I have way too much to do than have to look around and figure out if my latest podcast got exported and updated on iTunes or if my blog is working well on all browsers. Come on, let the blog software handle all that stuff. Squarespace does! If you have a church or ministry or music business or whatever-- you might check out SquareSpace.
Me like! :)
