Blogger is Your Friend!

Here are some tips for starting a website for your youth ministry from blogger.

1a. Template: You can use Artisteer to design a template. You do have to buy it. However, it can be so worth it. The software is awesome, super easy, and fairly affordable ($50 for a home license). The website is: http://www.artisteer.com.

1a. Template: You can't spend $50? Well blogger has free templates that you can somewhat customize. You can make it work.

2. Add Gadget: There are some cool Gadgets! You can add your twitter account. You can add a slideshow. You can add links, polls, videos, a header, and so much more. This really spices your website. This is a must-have for a cool website.


These 2 things will help you be on your way to making a super cool website. Any questions I had, I just googled it. Without a doubt, some tutorial came up.
