The Difference Between Featured Blogs and Featured Posts
Marcus here. Recently, I had a conversation via email with David Lindner of Worship Ministry Catalyst. He asked some great questions and gave me permission to share bits of our exchange with the wider community.
David: Do you have a way to track how we comment on blogs? I've commented on Rich [Kirkpatrick]'s blog several times, and on a couple of others as well and just wanted to know if I need to be doing it through high calling in some fashion."
That’s wonderful that David would think we might be this organized! We’ve explored comment tracking applications like cocomment--I even have a cocomment T-shirt that I wear a lot--but it doesn't seem to work reliably. Which is sad because I would really like to find a way to do what David is talking about.
For now, we’re still relying on those banners to let others know who is in the network. Some folks have hidden their banners. We are probably going to stop working closely with them over the next few months.
David: Could you explain the difference between featured blogs and network blogs a little more. I can see that network blogs seems to be just a collection of blogs in creative arts. And then there are some articles one your site about creative arts (which it doesn't look like you have very many of.) Are you looking for more people to write for your featured blogs? I've noticed the log in on your site for authors and was wondering if people who write for your features log in there and do it that way. Or, is it all by the emails you receive of suggested articles.
The new site has two tiers of navigation.
The top navigation is for pages. So all of our blogs who chose to register as “Creative Arts” are on the Creative Arts page. For now that means some really fantastic blogs are mixed in with some that are just average. Not bad mind you, but not necessarily as totally awesome as Soupablog. S(oupablog come back to us! We miss your new posts!)
The second navigation is for post categories. The Creative Arts posts…. means we have chosen to feature a particular post of a blogger that is on the topic of creative arts.
And we need help finding the good posts! Send us a link--and we'll tell you to write it up if it's acceptable. We'll give you credit and link to your blog and everything.

In last Friday's reflection, I asked the question: Is it right to display art in places of worship? Ezekiel's vision of the ideal temple in Ezekiel 41 answers that question affirmatively. Today, I... Read More +
