Church Blog Management - Talk to the World

Have you thought about how a blog can benefit your ministry? A blog is more than just a way to share your insights, it's an organized way to share articles, press releases, support documents, and news with your users. When you're ready to add all of this functionality to your site, the Sky blog element is fast, easy to use, and integrates seamlessly with your Sky website.

 

Get blogging in no time

Drop the blog element into a region. Select "Add Post" from the edit menu. Enter your title, date, author and entry. You've just started a blog.

Think outside the blog

The blog element can be used for articles, news, press releases, job listings and more. You control the number of posts and how far in the past to display.

     
 

Moderation of comments

The blog element allows your site visitors to interact with your site by leaving comments on your blog posts. Feedback is great, but if it's not controlled, you can end up with unwanted information on your site. That's why the blog element lets you control commenting at the blog or the post level. You can 1) allow comments from everyone 2) moderate and approve comments before they go live, or 3) turn comments off completely. Plus, to prevent spam, the blog element automatically requires character verification for all comments.

     
 

Share your blog through RSS

Each blog on your site automatically creates its own RSS feed. Simply click the orange XML button at the bottom of your blog list to view the feed and the feed address. If you're familiar with RSS, you know the power of sharing your blog through syndication. If you don't know what RSS is, don't worry – our blog element takes care of everything for you.

     
 

Integrated podcasting

The blog element lets you easily get started with podcasting. Simply attach a media file to your blog post and your RSS feed instantly becomes a podcast. Submit your feed to iTunes or Feedburner and let users subscribe to your audio.
