I was going to save this post for later, until everything was done. But this is the 21st century, and this is blogging. So it's okay to share about things that are still under development and not quite finished and final.
Astute observers here will have noticed that this DIGITAL blog has a new look. 2009 is a new day and this is a new day for DIGITAL as we make a few housekeeping adjustments that we believe will serve you better.
We've reimagined this blog's byline / slogan / mantra: church tech blog for non-techies. This blog's intent and focus remains the same, since launching in September 2007. This blog explains how to use technology to multiply the church's impact. This blog answers questions like, "I am a senior leader of my church but not the techie. What do I need to know in the tech world now and for the future? What do I need to understand?"
We're grateful for the team of contributors who have a finger on the pulse of the latest technology trends and will explain what that means for the church. Each of them have a passion for the church and use various technology in their lives and ministries. We'll glean from their experiences, examples, and perspectives on implications.
This blog is a labor of love as our contributors are volunteering to be a part of this effort, and you can show your appreciation by your regular readership and adding comments. We'll introduce the contributors, as the roster gets finalized.
There are a number of noteworthy church tech blogs elsewhere on the internet, and we'll mention them here in a future post. What we're aiming to accomplish here is to take the jargon out of the tech-speak and geek-talk, and to write in plain everyday English. When we're out of line and revert into tech-speak, calll us on it by adding a comment, and someone will jump in and translate.

Love the concept - we need more blogs that seek to make tech accessible for the non-tech literate. My site, communicatejesus.com aims to do this too. Perhaps we can work together?

@Steve, great to hear from you and your website at communicatejesus.com ! Looks like you're hailing from down under there in Australia. Let's have a conversation (maybe via tokbox?) and see what we can do.
