When I began this site, I didn’t think there were any blogs about building church websites — unless you count Church Marketing Sucks. After a bit of poking around on Technorati, though, I found a smattering. Two of the best are from the UK.

Living Open Source is a collection of “ramblings on faith, life, music and all manner of computer wizardry” by the Rev. Tim Hyde from St Helens Baptist Church, St Helens in Merseyside. As he puts it: “there is something very gospel about the whole concept of open source.” Before becoming a full-time minister, he was in IT for ten years. Lately he has a great series on “Blogging your church with WordPress.”

Churchblogger: Church Website and Blog Ideas is by David of the Whyteleafe Free Church, who “found there was a lack of practical advice for church website managers and church blogs specifically,” and set about to fill that void. He too is a WordPress user.

And so, come to think of it, am I. A WordPress user that is. We don’t use it quite as extensively on our church site, but nonetheless have been very happy with it for announcements.
