Finally Clear Well Written about Building a Professional Website with DrupalFollowing a link from http://drupal.org/planet I came across the excellent series by IBM developers about developing a profession website using open source technology. In fact, the series focuses on using Drupal as the core. The professionalism in the process used to redesign the website and the detail with which these articles are written make this series a must read for anyone interested in community websites. Some items to highlight include:The whole introduction and details about the design processHow they analyzed and compared different open-source content management systemsDecision to use DrupalAll of Part 2: Design for an effective user experienceStructuring content for theming using XHTMLStyling content for theming using CSSAnd finally, a well worded, well explained, detailed document describing Using taxonomies in Drupal Sean Buscay's blogLogin to post comments Keywords: Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)DrupalGuides and ResourcesWebsite Planning and Management Posted December 8th, 2006 by Sean Buscay Church123, An Easy to Use Excellent Tool for Church Websites Earlier this week CWM community member bunced recommended Church123 from within the CWM forum thread topic: EZ to build site, nice layout: which web host would you recommend forWhat interested me was the statement by bunced that Church123 is:"very powerful, and a professional company with a good customer service record and a nice product". I have to say that after checking out Church123 for myself, I absolutely agree with bunced. I signed up for a free 30 day trial account and here is what I saw: Sign up was very easy and it really only took three stepsI received an automatic contact and then a personal contact from Church123 within a short periodA church website was easy to setup and the system provides very clear guidance Very nice usability in that each step had clear directions, and hovering over items provided more explanation (for example instructions about editing content) In three steps the church website was ready, including some helpful default pages ready for adding content The Church123 website in general has helpful links and information for church websites. I often come across their site pages during Google searches for informationIncluded with a Church123 account, Church123 provides free, professional website templates for churchesIn my communications with Gordon, from Church123, regarding my comments about how easy is is to use their system, here is part of what Gordon said:Our system is not crammed with as many features as some CMS's. We've concentrated on getting the core functionality really, really good. Our strengths are certainly ease of use and support (we genuinely care). In truth if you stick lots of features in the CMS then churches will think they should use them and they litter their sites with all sorts of widgets that actually distract visitors from the reason they came to the site. I go to a church of about 100 people, our site is clean and information rich (it was used as an example by the World Web Evangelism Day). On average we get two new visitors through the doors on a Sunday directly because of our website.

It is worth a read and your consideration if you are involved with any Christian Website for an organization. Here is a small snippet to entice you over to read the post: ...SaaS helps keep this highly mobile, suburbanly sprawled congregation together by facilitating both paid and lay staff in terms of communications, sharing materials and schedule management.

With PayPal Donations your ministry’s members and donors may easily donate from your website using their credit card or bank account on PayPal’s secure server. The advantages to using PayPal’s Online Donations for your Christian Website are similar to those discussed for NetworkforGood.org. PayPal’s Basic Online Donations includes the following advantages for your Christian organization:Receive secure online donations with little setupLow starting costs – PayPal online donations uses the same fee schedule as other PayPal paymentsDonor security and privacy are handled PayPalReceive detailed records of all online donation transactionsWhen using PayPal Subscriptions, your members and donors may:Setup regular automatic monthly donations through their credit card or bank accountOne very nice feature of PayPal donations is that your Christian organization could setup donation links which may be included within emails to your members. Unlike, NetworkforGood.org, PayPal does not require your Christian organization to be an exempt nonprofit registered with the United States IRS. One only needs a PayPal account in order to get started receiving online donations and your Christian website can begin receiving online donations in less than five minutes. PayPal provides the following seven step overview on their website:Log in to your PayPal accountClick on the Merchant Services tabClick on the Donations linkSpecify the name, amount (optional; if you leave amount blank, your donor will be asked to choose a donation amount), and other details of the donationAdd more optional information such as a customized button graphic and the ability to include a note with the donationClick Create Button Now and the Button Factory will generate customized HTML codePaste the HTML code on your website to create your Donate buttonFrom my experience, the “Donations” link in step three is sometimes hard to find. Donation buttons may be generated in the same place you find your PayPal button factory. Also look for the donations link in the copy on the “Merchant Services” page, once logged in.

In order to remain on target with the mission and vision of CWM, those of us on staff must continue to ask ourselves, “What Makes Christian-Web-Masters.com any different from other Website Design and Development Sites and Forums?” Many of the articles and tutorials on CWM, and many of the discussions held on the Christian Web Master Forums, cover the same topics found on other popular webmaster sites. In fact, those sites like SitePoint.com and AListApart.com have a level of participation and meet “excellence” standards that CWM continues to strive towards.In discussing new articles to be posted on Christian-web-masters.com, CWM staff member Luke (iLuke) recently explained to another staff member:The purpose here isn't to compete with sites like SitePoint or pixel2life -- the major focus would be substantially different (even if the content is hugely overlapping). Coming from a Christian perspective, and with the ability to interact in a Christian environment will be what sets this apart. It is not an easy thing to present the basics of HTML from a Christian perspective (there simply isn't a great deal of content there), however, having the ability to discuss the basics of HTML within a Christian community because of a basic article that you read would offer real advantages to a new webmaster.I also just came across this post from CWM member tjsingleton on his In Awe of Him Ministry site:Where can you find caring people who enjoy helping others and love Christ? Christian-Web-Masters (CWM) hands down. There are people from all over the world willing to share with you web tips, encourage you to keep it up, and make sure your site doesn't look tacky. (You should have seen my previous design. Just kidding.) Javascript, PHP, Photoshop, SEO and more. It all can be found at CWM and even more.

This new version of the Drupal CMS received many new features, including improved performance, a new administrative interface, and a new slick default template. I decided to download the beta and give it a test drive. Here are some of the things I found during installation and setup.New Web based Install, Makes it Easier for EveryoneAfter dropping the drupal files into the main directory for my test site, I created the mysql database and then pointed my browser to the new site.Here is what comes up: I choose my database type (mysql) from the radio box, entered the name of my Drupal database, along with the username and password to access the database. Then I hit “Save configuration”. That was it. My new Drupal install was complete. Nice.Drupal Website SetupAfter completing my install in about 90 seconds, I followed the link to visit “your new site”. From my new Drupal home page I was guided by a five step list to start using my new Drupal site.
