Hope all is well with you. Touching base on volunteer management, time and talent and community outreach all in one. I was hoping you would take a look at www.istandready.com and give a blunt review. Thanks, John Bartlett 816-389-7281

- One thing to watch out for, when getting a CMS, is to make sure it's search engine friendly. Otherwise: very good tips.

- I was lured in by the picture of your cat but I happen to majorly interested in online Christianity.
Very useful, especially the point that you need to pay for a decent site to be put up - not a message any of the churches I'm involved in want to hear unfortunately.

- Hello!
I can see why you've been blessed by a Squid Angel! You have several sections that blend together so well, with precise information, some graphics and appropriate links. If my Catholic parish were to build a website, I'd know who to turn to! God Bless!

- Glen (N376), I tried Joomla, but it was more cumbersome for our volunteer contributors. Drupal allows easier submissions of new content from the "front-end" - or at least it looks like the front-end to them, which makes it easier. Thanks!

- Check out Joomla!.
Easy to learn. Though with all its powerful features it's almost overwhelming. But it'll have you hanging onto the edge of your seat going "WOW" and "IT CAN DO THAT TOO!!!".

- Hi there! I've learned a few things from reading your lens. Nice work! Drupal I find good for simple sites... I had trouble with it for very complex sites.
